Today's reading is on dreams. Many of us put our dreams on the back burner to live a safe life or a life of obligation not a life of passion. But, God has called us to live a passionate life. And, a passionate life does not mean on devoid of responsibility. Rather a passionate life is where your passions and talents intersect allowing you to fulfill your responsibilities not out of duty or obligation but out of desire and joy. He says that true dreams of God make a difference in the lives of others. Moreover, he points out that God is not going to hijack your life. On the contrary, when God gives you a passion for something he wants you to go for it because it's incorporated in your being. He doesn't give you a passion for one dream and then call you to fulfill a life plan that's completely unrelated. That's not his character, nor is it good stewardship -- and he never wastes the resources he's created.
Quite a simple concept and yet very direct and impactful. It has challenged me. Ask God today:
-- where do my passions and talents intersect?
-- where can I have the greatest good for others?
Be still. Be open.
