You know, that's what I want to
be...running over with hope! I want to dare to throw my whole life and
everything I have into building a dream that comes from the heart of
God. I want to get out there so far that without God's help, I can't get
back.
Many people don't think that way though because they're
afraid to fail. Fear of failure is dangerous. If you let it dominate
you, it will cause you to do the one thing that inevitably guarantees
failure and that's not attempting at all.
How do you counteract the fear of failure?
You
turn up your hope. You get alone with God and listen to Him. You
meditate on His promises until the picture is so clear on the inside of
you that nothing can jar it out of you.
If you're lying on a
sickbed and the doctor has told you you'll never walk again, instead of
wallowing around in that bad report, you start dreaming. You start
building a dream of climbing mountains and witnessing to people in the
backwoods. Go to the Word that promises that those who wait upon the
Lord shall run and walk and not faint or be weary. Look at it until you
see nothing else. Picture yourself walking for miles and running from
one place to the next, telling everyone that Jesus has raised you up and
made you whole.
That's what hope is all about. It's a divine
dream. It's an inner image that's bigger than you are because it's built
on the promises of God.
If you're a Christian, you ought to be a dreamer. Take the Word of God and build some dreams today.
