Dream A Dream That Scares You

"If your dream doesn't scare you, it's too small." Mark Batterson

 Does your biggest dream scare you? Most people are going to answer no to this question, but see, our dreams that we have, our biggest and greatest ones, they need to be so big, they need to be so impossible that they scare us.
 But why would we do this? Why wouldn't we just dream a dream that we could actually accomplish? See, we don't dream big dreams, especially the dreams that are so big that they scare us, because we are worried that they won't be answered. We stay in the safe zone of the little dreams we have that look possible, that we know we can accomplish. But we need to step outside that safe zone. We need to take a risk and, even though you might be worried that it won't turn out, even though you don't want to be disappointed, we have to know and remind ourselves of who our God is. Our God is a miracle worker! A God that can do impossible things! So why couldn't He fulfill your dream?
 Yes, people may tell you that it isn't possible. They may tell you that there is no way that this could happen. Well guess what? It doesn't matter what they say. Are they the ones fulfilling your dream? No. Do they have any control over it? No. So why are we letting ourselves listen to them? Why are we letting ourselves believe in what they are saying? The only person that you have to listen to is the one that gave you the dream in the first place. The only one that can actually make this dream work. The one that, no matter how impossible, will make sure that it happens for you. That is the only voice you need to hear.
 So today, start dreaming dreams that scare you. Dream a dream that, to everybody else, looks entirely impossible, and just know that God can do all things, and fulfilling your biggest and boldest dreams is one of those things.
