God Inspired or Me Inspired

I have come the realization that dreams, if not God inspired, will set you up for failure.

There has become this movement of
dream-makers,
dream-seekers,
dream-believers,
and dream-doers
that are on the arise to probably take over the world.
And my only fear and set back for not joining in all the fun-filled dreaming is because I allow influences,other than God to muster up my dreams.
And this is the type of dreaming I am talking about that will set you up for failure.
This type of dreaming is toxic to your future.
Take it from me, I once went from dream-chaser to dream-failure in the matter of days.
All because I allowed popular trends and opinions to put a false hope in my heart.
Pushing me to go after something that I could never achieve...
originally, genuinely and whole-heartedly
Because my dreams were not God inspired they were Me inspired
Dreams that went after selfish desires
whether it be for fame
pleasure
acceptance
greed or
jealousy
This type of dreaming God wants nothing to do with
He is hurt & disappointed when we put our
hearts, energy and passions towards dreams that are not of his delight.

We, has followers of Christ have the power to dream God sized dreams
Dreams that require an unshakable amount of faith
Dreams that require God running right along side you, never behind you
Dreams that are only achievable with his strong foundation
Dreams that he has specifically placed in your heart
Dreams that challenge
Dreams that bring hope
Dreams that can stand up to the brokenness of this world
Dreams that power this world
Dreams that love without end

Whatever type of dream, may it be God inspired

Now as for myself not joining in on this dream believing, chasing, making lifestyle...
I know God has placed dreams and desires in my heart
It is now just a matter of me seeking and delighting myself in him
So he can truly reveal his plan for my life
I honestly believe that God will not send you his God inspired dreams until you completely delight yourself in him
(so until this happens... dreams will only be Me inspired dreams.)

Chase after him.
Desire him
Seek him
Love him
Dream him.


I do give myself Hope for the dreams God has placed in my heart
I do have hope for the dreams God has placed in your heart too
Now just delight in him.

psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart"
(It's tattooed on my foot for crying out loud)
