Why do dreams die? First, our created world is a broken place and therefore does not operate the way God originally designed it. The real world is a place of unrealized dreams and unfulfilled plans. I’m not in control, and people don’t always do my bidding. In our fantasy world, there aren’t any obstacles or competitors in the way of my dream, but in the real world, there are many deep valleys and high peaks between vision and realization. They do this because the real world doesn’t behave the way the world of our imagination does. They crumble before we ever get a chance to experience or enjoy them. The fact is that the vast majority of our dreams simply die.
Christian stewardship requires planning, strategy, and a lot of goals fueled by faith.īut consider this danger: dreams, imagination, and vision are mesmerizing because when you dream, the world and everything in it is utterly compliant.Įven if you’re casting a vision for a church plant, a generational legacy as a Christ-exalting family, or a successful business model that generates profit to fund God’s kingdom, in the realm of personal imagination, you reach all your goals, get everything that you want, and do not have to deal with any detractors.ĭreaming is captivating because the dream world is much easier to live in than the real world! Likewise, vision-the capacity to project forward and think about where you would like to be-is a good gift from the Creator.
Being able to see the invisible in our mind is a vital gift from God so that, though we cannot see, hear, or touch him, we can still have a relationship with him. The ability to dream-or perhaps a better synonym, imagine-is unique to humanity. But there’s another variant of the word dream that I’d like us to consider. It’s impossible to be a human being and not dream. Did you dream last night in your sleep? When you woke up, were you able to remember it fully, just in pieces, or not at all? Was it bizarre, happy, or dark and disturbing?
