I read over an article this week entitled "Achieve Your Dreams" which basically said that the ability to succeed in this life depends on your ability to dream. It was a nice little warm and fuzzy article, the kind that can make your spine tingle and inspire you...

It almost made me puke! There is only one way to "acheive your dreams" in this life, and that is through Christ. Anything else is utter heresy. Now, let me also say that I do see the purpose of dreaming and how it can inspire the soul, but what else to dream about than a relationship with Christ? What else can we dream about that serving Christ, loving Him, sharing His love with others, being His hands and feet to a world that so desperately needs Him. That is what I dream about. I dream about eternity with Him, worshipping Him for all time. That's dreaming, not about worldly, but eternal things.

"For our light and our momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Cor. 4:17-18

We need to be careful. It is little stories like this that can get us off track and miss the main focus of this life. They are warm and fuzzy stories that inspire, but the only inspiration I am looking for is from Christ. Let's stay on the straight and narrow path and keep fighting the good fight!
