Can I Lord?
Can I rest here awhile Lord?
Can I lay my head upon your lap?
Will you brush aside the strands of my hair and whisper, I love you?
Can I worship you in silence and not feel like I have to perform?
Will your love still abound if I say nothing?
I long to know that being with you, in your presence, is enough.
Can I lay my armor down for awhile Lord?
The armor of defense I often wear to survive in this uncertain world.
Shall I rest in silence knowing you will take care of me tonight?
You are the Vine, the core, the strength.
I am merely a branch weak and frail, though you say I am vital.
Am I vital enough to be grafted into your heart tonight Lord?
Are you strong enough to hold me, let me rest and give me peace?
Yes...I believe you are.
"For all the promises of God are yes and amen" - 2 Corinthians 1:20
Dare to Dream
“Each dream has a meaning of its own” - Genesis 40:5
Where do dreams of the heart come from? Those thoughts and ideas that seem beyond our reach yet fill our minds with possibilities. Do they just appear out of nowhere? Are they a product of our imagination gone wild? Or do they have a purpose beyond our comprehension?
Where do dreams of the heart come from? Why are we afraid to share them aloud yet stay up late at night wondering— What if?
Sometimes our hearts are filled with many dreams, sometimes there’s only one. A notion, an idea, an inkling that won’t go away until we’re forced to ask ourselves, where did this dream of the heart come from?, video, widgets, etc...
Visions and images that seem impossible, far-fetched and odd. Yet when they persist, we find ourselves wondering if our secret hopes and dreams just might be from God.
The dream to write, to cook, to sing, the desire to garden, to sew, or build, could be the seed God has planted in your heart to use for His glory. Each dream is different and has it’s own meaning but when it is from God it has a glorious, everlasting purpose.
Why try and make sense of it all, none of us ever will. Instead, take the small dream seed and ask— Did You give me this dream? Ask Him, He’ll tell you. Then get ready! Through nurturing, caring and believing in the dream seed you’ve been given, the impossible will come to pass right before your eyes.
Where do dreams of the heart come from? Why they come from the Maker of all good dreams— God Himself, who is the one who plants the seeds of possibility in our hearts then whispers, My child, don’t be afraid. Dare to dream, dare to believe then watch Me work.
A TEAR DROPS PURPOSE
“Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his.” - Psalm 100:3
At times in our search for significance we may see ourselves as nothing more than a tear drop in a vast ocean.
Our vision can become blurred by circumstances causing us to lose sight of the fact that God has chosen to keep account of every tear drop and every soul in which it came from. In those unsettled moments we are unable to recognize that even tear drops in an ocean have their purpose.
Only a quieted spirit can comprehend that a single tear, dropped on fresh soil, has the ability to bring forth growth. Only a soul striving for peace can see that tears sown in love bring about healing and comfort like no other. To be sure, only in silence can we begin to understand the value and purpose of our tears and of our lives.
If we are but tears drop in the ocean, then we must know that the ocean itself has purpose and meaning with each tear drop in its self having great worth.
In your daily search for significance, should the idea of being a mere tear drop in a vast ocean overwhelm you, remember that you are God's chosen masterpiece. Even as a single tear drop, you have value and meaning beyond measure. United, each tear drop becomes a significant part of a beautiful ocean called the family of God. And as such we must learn to live each day with passion and purpose as Creator intended.
