Hello, thank you for joining me today for Give Him 15. The title of today's post is

restoring the dream, and most of it is taken from this book that I wrote in 2012, entitled

Dream. You may not be aware of it, but you have a dreaming nature.

You inherited this part of your makeup from your creator.

He created us in his image and likeness so our hearts could relate to his,

and in order that his dreaming heart could find millions of expressions.

You were designed to dream, both for yourself and for God.

You must dream.

In fact, if you don't dream with him, he can't experience all of his dreams.

You'll never achieve your destiny. A life without

dreams is like a GPS without a satellite. The GPS might operate, but it would lead you nowhere.

Likewise, without God-given dreams to guide you, you travel life's highway searching for a

destination you'll never find. Divinely inspired dreams, on the other hand, will guide you to the

destiny God intended for you. Your designer dreamed dreams for you

before you were even born,

then skillfully wove them into your DNA

as he created you,

along with the ability to find and fulfill them.

His ultimate destiny for you will be the sum of those dreams.

The journey of life, then, is meant to be a dream quest. Finding and fulfilling what your

maker dreamed for you brings life's ultimate satisfaction

and should be life's ultimate pursuit.
