Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

Dreams
by Langston Hughes

I was looking around on the Internet for a poem I could possibly do my blog on. I came across this poem and liked it; it was short and sweet. I think the first three lines of the poem are the most powerful. "Life is a broken winged bird", that stands out to me a lot; you could so easily picture a bird with a hurt wing hobbling around. Well that’s kind of how we are in life without dreams.
Dreams are such a good thing to have, even if the more then likely will not ever come true. Dreams change along the way for a lot of people. For instance, when you're a little child you dream of being an astronaught, but when you're older you dream of having a wife and kids or visa versa. I think I mentioned something about dreams in an earlier blog; imagine if no one had dreams, nothing would ever come to be. Martin Luther King would have just been a man. Someone like Thomas Edison would have never discovered the light bulb.
Dream big! Don't sell yourself short for something God can take and make HUGE! God knows your dreams better then you do. Personally I can think of so many times where I thought to myself “oh wow, that’s impossible” and God totally proves me wrong and makes a dream/fantasy a reality. He knows what your desires are. Pursue them with God! Don't set off to accomplish this great dream on your own. God intended our relationship to be a partnership; you’ll never have to do anything on your own. I was just thinking; I bet God has dreams too, I bet his dreams are to see the whole world get saved or to at least see every person hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.
