I listen to others' messages, and contemplate how their
words speak to and guide me on my journey. I turned on my television on a day
off, and lo and behold there was a teacher and a preacher by the name of Joyce
Meyer.
I Goggled Joyce Meyer during the early morning darkness on New Year’s
Eve, and I was led to her ministries website: http://www.joycemeyer.org/ and the
homepage listed an article: "How to Give Life to Your Dreams." I
clicked to read more, and this paragraph spoke to me: "Ecclesiastes
5:3 says, For a dream comes with much business and painful effort.… This is why
many people abort their dreams before they reach full-term. God plants a seed
(dream) in them and they become pregnant. But when they find out it will take
effort, be costly and uncomfortable to complete their preparation for the
birth, they decide it wasn't really God's will after all and go and do
something else."
How many times are brick walls placed in front of us, and we do not
break through the mortar so the wall tumbles down? (Please reference "Reflecting
on Hopes and Dreams" from 2014 at http://livingstonesministriesrockon.blogspot.com/2015/01/reflecting-on-hopes-and-dreams-from-2014.html, and http://www.joycemeyer.org/articles/ea.aspx?article=how_to_give_life_to_your_godgiven_dreams.)
I navigated through the television broadcast. I listened to
"Have a Dream for Your Life - Part 1" http://www.joycemeyer.org/BroadcastHome.aspx?video=Have_a_Dream_for_Your_Life_-_Part_1
Joyce Meyer's broadcast provided me with the nugget: "Am I a
finisher?"
Are you a finisher? Live Your Dream.
