Equally Amazing!

"Light, space, zest-that's God! So, with him on my side I'm fearless, I'm afraid of nothing and no one."~Ps 27
Hmm, with God on our side? So! I'd say as God's kids, he's always on our side. He's always working for us NOT against us! Ro 828.

Why should we fear anything or anyone when it comes to things? For me it's my dreams. I'm always paranoid that if I say out loud what I want to do with my life, someone else will say I can't do it or I'm not good enough. God's got huge dreams, and dreams always begin like this: #1 you get an idea. #2 you start dreaming about that idea. #3 You make that dream a plan.

That's what God did with salvation, he had a brilliant idea on how to get us out of the mess we got ourselves into with sin, and then he started dreaming about it, he gave prophecies to prophets YEARS before it came to pass. And every time, God spoke out the same dream about his son coming down from Heaven to save us from certain death. Then, he put it into action when the time was just right, because he had it all planned out. God has plans for our lives too! But as I've said before many times, he is not an evil dictator..."You will do what I told you to because I SAID SO!" U'm, no, that's not who our Daddy is in the slightest. God's plans almost always fit in with the dreams we have in our hearts. Take a look at this, this is Ps 63:5-8 "I eat my fill of prime rib and gravy;
      I smack my lips. It's time to shout praises!
   If I'm sleepless at midnight,
      I spend the hours in grateful reflection.
   Because you've always stood up for me,
      I'm free to run and play.
   I hold on to you for dear life,
      and you hold me steady as a post." This is the reflection of a man who has had all the amazing riches of God given to him, because God loved him! God always stood up for him, the same way God will always stand up for your dreams and make them happen. As I've said before, there are times we have dreams as kids that change when we get older, but there's nothing wrong with that. It's the dreams that are in your heart, that you know that you won't feel fully complete until you do them--that is your real dreams; you would feel incomplete because you wouldn't be doing what God put in your heart to do.


If you don't have dreams, and you have no idea what it is you're supposed to do, I'd tell you right here right now, don't fret about it. Start thinking about the things you love to do, things you like to do, and the things you always wanted to do and never got the chance.
You don't have to be worship leader, preacher, pastor, evangelist to make a difference in God's Kingdom. Jesus said that he Kingdom of God dwells within you. Everything you do everyday you're doing for the Kingdom; you could be bagging someone's groceries at the grocery store and that could make a difference in someone's life. You don't have to do things that anyone sees or knows about for to do something for God; God counts it all.

Do you guys remember the parable that Jesus told about the workers? How a couple of workers started working in a field for  some money, and then that afternoon some more workers came to the master of the field and asked for work, and they were going to be paid just as much as those who'd been working since dawn.
Then in the evening, another set of workers were hired on.
When the day had finally ended, the master paid each and every man the exact same wage; when the dawn workers had heard about the others being paid the same wage, they wanted to be paid more and complained. The master told them that everyone worked equally as hard, and that the first shall be last, and the last shall be first.

Everything you do is important! Everyone works in the ways they were made to, the ways they love doing.
 And there are times we get stuck with a job we HATE, and we look at God and say, "Hey man, what exactly are you trying to pull up there???" And God's like, "You'll see!" A lot of times there's a specific person we can touch in that place that God brought specifically to us to bless. Or other times he's training us for the upcoming stuff we would much rather be doing, a time of preparing.

So, if you're in a place you hate right now, don't worry! The storm WILL pass. God will you give the desires of your heart.
