When Dreams become a Right?

Hope is one of the basic blocks of life. Of which, faith and love stems (Colossians 1)

The ability to dream is like the ability to fly. To reach. To soar. To touch. To yearn for the impossible.

Yet... in the pursuit of them, there are many truths I'm learning.

That God sometimes frustrates them. So that my smaller dreams can dissolve so that His bigger dreams can take place.

That my dreams are not a right.

That my dreams are not the be all and end all of life.

That shattered dreams are not something to be depressed about but celebrated??? (still trying to comes to terms with this one...)

Delayed dreams are not a bad thing.

Unfulfilled dreams, so what? Fulfillment depends on Him, not me.

Pursuit of it depends on me, fulfillment is up to Him to give.

"Shattered dreams open the door to better dreams, dreams we do not properly value until the dreams that we improperly value are destroyed. Shattered dreams destroy false expectations of the 'victorious' christian life with no real struggle or failure. They help us discover true hope. we need the the help of shattered dreams to put us in touch with what we long for the most, to create a felt appetite for better dreams. And living for the better dreams generates a new unfamiliar feeling that we eventually recognise as joy...Perhaps we're meant to learn that the richest hope permits the deepest suffering, which releases the strongest power, which then produces the greatest joy. Maybe there is no shortcut to joy. Maybe God sometimes frustrates our desire to experience Him in order to deepen it...Brokeness is the awareness that you long to be someone you are not, and cannot be without divine help."

Shattered Dreams - God's Unexpected Pathway to Joy //Larry Crabb

God is not one who bursts my dreams for the fun of it. He bursts it so I can embrace a bigger dream that only He can fulfill.

Its painful for my small bubbles to burst. It really is. But I can only hope, that He has better things in store. I still dun understand, I still cant see it.

"But when you dun understand, and you can't see His plan. And when you can't trace His hand, trust His Heart."

I will.

He is for me. Not against me. Never against me.

His plans give me a hope and a future.

Waiting for the pain and shame to go away.
