Guided by His Light: Embrace Life, Chase Dreams
Last month, I was surprised to receive the following WhatsApp message from Brother Teh of Jurong West CG offering writing inspiration:
“God’s creation is for your good, God shine His light on you always. So enjoy your life and be happy!
“You have the choice to continue dreaming or wake up to chase your dreams.
“In my opinion, everybody has the chance to be permanently asleep but not wake up to chase the dreams.”
It reminds us that God’s creation is a gift, meant for us to experience joy and live a life filled with purpose. This purpose is often found by pursuing our dreams, the aspirations that energize us to stay on track and give us direction in life.
Chasing Dreams with Discernment:
As Christians, we must discern which dreams align with our faith and help us become our best selves. While we admire our ambitions, we also recognize the importance of seeking God’s will. We need to pray for His guidance as we carefully research our path, understanding the potential obstacles and resources required.
It is important to seek God’s strength and wisdom to navigate our journey. A dream that is grounded in practicality, supported by a strong network, and aligned with God’s will is more likely to be successful.
Letting Go and Embracing New Dreams:
As we grow and learn, our dreams may evolve. We may need to release unrealistic pursuits or those conflicting with our values, trusting in Proverbs 16:3. This can lead to new, fulfilling dreams that align with God’s plan.
The Journey Matters:
The Bible is full of encouragement for dreamers. Joshua 1:9 reminds us, “Be strong and courageous. The Lord is with you.”
Trust in Him, surrender your anxieties, and take action in faith. The journey is as important as the destination. Savor the experiences, and let God be our guide.
Every good gift comes from God. (James 1:17) Embrace opportunities and pursue your God-given dreams. Let your light shine brightly in the world!
