In Others’ Words: Delightful Impossibilities

Sometimes my God is too small.

Of course, it’s not Him. It’s me diminishing who He is. I forget that God is so much more than the possibilities I see before me . . . He is the God of all the impossibilities I never imagine.

Forgetting who God is comes with looking down … becoming so grounded in here and now and what is that I forget God is not bound by any of those things. He is before and after. Alpha and Omega. (Revelation 22:13) The Author and Finisher of my faith. (Hebrews 12:2)  And isn’t it just like me to think I’m the one who is faithful when it’s so clearly stated that He remains faithful even when I am not? (2 Timothy 2:13)

As 2016 ended and the new year began, I was challenged to dream big … bigger than I ever had before. To let God expand my “possible” dreams to “oh, that could never happen” impossibilities.

As I wrote those prayerful impossibilities down, I felt equal parts timid and brave. Why not dream out loud with my God who loves me? Why not entrust those larger-than-ever-before hopes with the Creator of the universe, the one who already knows my heart, my innermost desires?

I know God loves me. Believing He delights in impossibilities in a personal way — that God delights in the big, big dreams I’m pursuing — is a new way to trust God. Doing so is changing my perspective of God — and it’s changing me, too.

In Your Words: What helps you have the faith to dream big?
