107. Dream Big

I heard my pastor say this years ago and it had such an impact on me that it has stuck with me ever since. He said, “Big dreams and small dreams cost you the same…your life.” 

Ephesians 3:16-20 tells us the same thing. It says, and this is Paul speaking, “I pray that from God’s glorious, unlimited resources that He will empower you with inner strength through His Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

When this world tells us not to get our hopes up, I want to encourage you to do the exact opposite. Get your hopes up as high as they can go. God wants to use you to do big things for His kingdom. 

Ladies, if you struggle with feeling like you don’t have a purpose or that you’re a mistake or that you have no idea why God created you, I want you to know that God doesn’t make mistakes. He made you on purpose, with a purpose for a purpose. 

You being here on this earth during this time is proof that God saw a problem that only you could solve. He created you just like you are, with all of your quirks on purpose, because there are certain people who will be drawn to you so you can make a difference in their lives for the Lord.
