Dreams; we all follow them; some of us don’t even realize we are. Look around and find everything around you that is BROWN; next, close your eyes and count the amount of things you saw that were BLUE. Now open your eyes and find everything you can that is BLUE around you. All this says is what we want to see, or what we focus on, we WILL see or find (Matt 7). The problem with this is often we are looking for the wrong things, so we ask the wrong questions. Like a computer, our brain feels obligated to answer the questions we ask, I.E. “why can’t I meet anyone that’s nice to me, why is it so hard to stop playing video games, why can’t I loose weight, or get good grades” and the list goes on and on. The answer our brain comes up with often is something like “cause you suck.” We HAVE to learn how to ask the right questions as well as focus on the right things. Typically you can tell how much time someone has spent playing World of Warcraft, Halo, or Modern Warfare, and other games simply by seeing how good they are at it. You can tell how much someone is working out based on their appearance. You can also tell what someone’s goals are by the product of their life, for instance what do you think Michael Jordan’s focus was, or MLK, or JFK, or Eminem, or Donald Trump. It isn’t hard to tell what people are focused on, or dream about. MLK desperately wanted to see things change, to see the racial divide broken, to see blacks and whites treated the same with the same opportunities. We know he was passionate about this because he wrote about it, he spoke about it, he gathered people around him to do something about it, and look at the outcome. Jesus was focused on seeing change as well, seeing the divide between God and man broken down, he dreamed of a kingdom that would last forever, a world that would love eachother. We know this because he wrote about it, spoke about it, gathered people around him to do something about it, and look at the outcome!!! What we seek we WILL find. The Question is simple, what are you seeking, what’s your dream, how can you get there, and who can help? Together lets dream big and ask big questions, after all if we are going to dream and ask questions, why not dream and ask BIG?
