ENGAGING THOUGHT
Let's finish the 60 Days of Dreaming challenge at the same place we started: at the edge of the cliff peering down into the abyss, wondering what might happen if we jump...only, this time something has changed, hasn't it? This isn't quite the same cliff-edge, and we feel differently about it.
You're smarter about God's DREAM for your life this time around; you have pragmatic experience in pursuing it; you've faced some of the previously unknown aspects and conquered some of your fears. So...no...this isn't quite the same cliff-edge as before. Or, perhaps it is exactly the same cliff-edge...and you are the one that has changed?
I would contend that God's DREAM for your life hasn't changed at all from then until now - it is your awareness and understanding of it that has changed. Your ability to recognize, formulate, and implement a strategy for the fulfillment of the DREAM has changed; you've changed in how you recruit and how you communicate; you've changed in how you evaluate and adjust; perhaps, you've changed in how you talk to and believe in yourself and in your own abilities to listen to and follow the voice and leadership of God.
Jumping over the cliff-edge and into the DREAM that God has for your life is still daunting and still a life-long pursuit. You'll need to re-commit along the way and continue to alter and change your strategy as you grow in the process. One thing will never change, however: nothing will ever be more exhilarating than knowing you are actively pursuing and living the fullness of God's DREAM for your life!
