Right now there is someone playing a piano hoping one day they will have the opportunity to showcase their talent. There is another, working in a restaurant kitchen, dreaming of the day they have a grand opening of their own place. There is a recent college graduate who just started working and who has a dream to become CEO of their own company. The list is endless when you think about all the dreams people have for themselves.
In reality, how many people are working to attain their dreams? How many people are constantly talking about their dreams but are standing still? How many people have stopped pursuing their dream because it did not work the first time?
Where do you see yourself in this process, are you working toward it, are you just talking about, or have you stopped? As Christians we have to remember Jesus never said it would be easy, but “He would be with us until the end of the age”. If it was easy to transition your dream to a reality everyone would do it. To make the transition will take hard work, disappointment along the way, and most of all perseverance. When God shows you a dream He will set the path, give you the strength and will make the way. However, the path will not always be smooth, in your mind you feel weak, and there are times you are not sure of the way.
Don’t give up my brother, don’t give up my sister. Look to Jesus Christ who is the dream that was translated into reality for us to be saved. When you look at John 3:16 this is the dream God has for the entire world. It was not easy for Jesus, but He did not give up! I want you to look at that person in the mirror and say, “Don’t give up”.

I don’t know were to start. I have many many years of restaurant experience would love to own my own business. I know the if’s and but all about it. Then I hookave another calling in my life is taking care of people. When is was younger i took care of my grandfather when he became ill whom he also was a pastor before alcohol took control of him then he lost one of his legs. I cooked and all the above before I went to school. Took care of my uncles when they were sick and not able to take care of themselves. they were all decacons in the church. I have always had compassion in my heart to help out whenever i can. It was so funny to me that when one of my uncles was in Mcv and the nurses would go to hi room and he would curse them out for coming in the room so they stopped one day when I was on my way in the room and asked my why my uncle was so rude. I said he already told you’ll do not come in her because my nephew will be here to wash me up and shave me too and then he will be reading the bible too me, plus he is going to feed me also.
Another blessed sermon again today. About letting your light shine and what do people see when they see you. Well one evening me and my brothers and some of my cousin went over to anothe er cousins house and they was two sheets in the wind all extra loud and when i walked in my cousin said to me about when i walked in with them I carried a kind of spirit with me that was different from them a spirit of ease and gentleness and well mannered. He said you was the first person to ever take off your hat when you entered the house. and when I visited the hospitals too the nurses says the same thing too.
