The Courage to Dream Big Dreams
Excerpt from Hugs: Daily Inspirations for Women
"We wait for the LORD; He is our help and shield." - Psalm 33:20 HCSB
Are you willing to entertain the possibility that God has big plans in store for you! It's true. Yet sometimes, especially if you've recently experienced a life-altering disappointment, you may find it difficult to envision a brighter future for yourself and your family. If so, take a second look at your own capabilities - and at God's.
Your heavenly Father created you with unique gifts and talents; your job is to tap into them. When you do, you'll feel an increasing sense of confidence in yourself and in your future.
It takes courage to dream big dreams, but remember that nothing is too difficult for God, and no dreams are too big for Him - not even yours. So start living - and dreaming - accordingly.
"If you doubt you can accomplish something, you can't accomplish it. Instead, you have to be confident in yourself, and you need to be tough enough to follow through." - Rosalynn Carter
