Lepaterique, Honduras
This is the sponsor child of one of our team members. It was Sunday afternoon and we were making our Compassion Project home visits. This was our first stop of the day. I'm sure that our visit was a little overwhelming because of the sheer number people in her living room. She was a little shy, but that was okay.
When I look at this picture I see a person who has dreams. What are those dreams? I don't know. Maybe they're big dreams or maybe small, but my gut tells me that they're important dreams.
God invites us to dream.
"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4 English Standard Version
It's one thing to hear these words from God it is another to believe them.
Maybe the problem is with our heart and what it desires. The key in this psalm is the first part of the verse. The psalmist calls us to delight in the Lord, not in our pleasures or wants. When we find pleasure in the presence of the one who has given everything for us we'll find ourselves dreaming about what he desires.
So, it's okay to dream especially when those dreams are rooted in the God who takes delight in us.
