On New Year's Day, early in the morning, I had a bad dream. So bad that it broke me down. I felt this dream to my core...like it was really happening. I cried. Some ugly crying too.
As I relayed the dream to my husband, he looked at me and matter-of-factly said, "Why are you upset? Don't you think that's the devil?" I was so caught up in my emotions even though I knew it was "just a dream".
I had to step back and let The Truth sink in. I had to let Light shine into the dark corner of my heart that dream created. I cried some more, talked, shared, prayed, and then I felt better. Emotion subsided and faith re-surfaced. I am okay. It was just a dream.
It's amazing how our emotions can shake us, even when we know deep down that the thing we fear can't really hurt us.
Rejection...
We got overlooked for a promotion...
Someone laughed at an idea we were passionate about pursuing...
We failed at something we tried so hard to do...
So we let the "bad dream" set the tone for the day... And the next... And the next... And pretty soon, life is a bad dream we can't seem to wake up from.
Yes, there will be times when we are shaken. There will be times of fear, or doubt, or concern. But there must always be A Truth that breaks through that. There must be A Way to find strength to push past the emotional fog that can cloud our view of The Path we are walking on.
You have a Divine Purpose. God has established an expected end for you. He has plans to prosper you. Take hold of that Truth. Let moments of fear be fleeting but let praise be perpetual.
Don't let the demon that chased you in your dream run rampant in your waking hours!
Blessings...
