Ephesians 3:20 says: "God can do anything, you know - far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, His Spirit gently within us." (MSG)
...Then what is keeping us from dreaming BIG? What is holding us back from asking God for the deepest, most intimate desires of our heart? If God's plan for each of our lives is bigger and far more extraordinary than we could ever expect, that should motivate us to let go of our inhibitions and give God our craziest, wildest dreams! We already know that no matter how big we dream, He is faithful to give us even BETTER. After all, if God's plan is sovereign and immeasurably than what we could ever conjure up for ourselves, the things we think will bring us blessing, satisfaction, fulfillment, and favor will PALE in comparison to the overwhelming amount of things God already has in store for us. This is why we can trust God with the innermost desires of our heart. He sees our faith and doesn't ignore it - not because our faith or any measure of it causes Him to act, or because it is some indicator of worthiness for His blessings, but because our faith is just a mere response to God's infinite love for us and His Spirit moving in and through us! He has already destined us for a life of blessing and favor. Our faith can only GROW when we put our trust in Him and allow Him to reveal Himself to us. It's a continuing upward cycle: we give God our dreams, and He gives us something even better. Which, in turn, causes us to only dream BIGGER.
