Our youth can be filled with dreams and hopes. That is as it should be. Some of those dreams will become a reality. Others will not. Some passions in our heart were placed there by God and will ultimately bear much fruit. Others are merely our own wishful thinking and depend solely upon us for their fulfillment. Some people spend their entire lives chasing their dreams. They wax eloquent to anyone who will listen about what they intend to do some day, if only they had the right break, or funding, or support, or endorsement. They spend their lives chasing after shadows.
While it is not a bad thing to have dreams, we must realize that God is not obligated to make our dreams come true! He is committed to fulfilling His purposes. When we align ourselves with God’s will, we can expect to see results! God is fully prepared to back up with heaven’s resources, anything He initiates. When the day is done and the dust has settled, it will be God’s purposes that were accomplished, just as He intended.
So what is it that is driving your life? Are you constantly asking God to bless your plans? Are you hounding others to support your goals and to buy in to your vision? Or is your life driven by a vision from heaven?
