do you have dreams? // Wednesday E-Devotion

"Going through life without a dream is like going shopping without a list." - Rick Warren
 
Just a simple thought for today.  Do you have dreams?  Have your dreams ever come true?  Mine have, and they have been in big and awesome ways.
 
I recently went to our post office box only to find that my thoughtful father got something for our church that was way cool.  On my arrival at home and opening the box, I found a wood cut out of this word: DREAM.  You see, my dad knows my dreams.  We need to share our dreams.
 
Often times dreamers dreams are shot down because their dreams are outragious or seen as out of touch or maybe even impossible, yet God will fill our dreams.  If we let Him, He will fill them.  We need to teach our children, let our churches and live in such a way that dreams come to life.  To live for, serve and see awesome God things means that we have to dream.
 
Recently I taught on Joseph from the Old Testament.  That boy had dreams and could tell others what their dreams meant.  It was eye opening for me.  Be encouraged today to let your dreams flow, and best yet, let God fill your dreams with His stuff and His best.
 
Ephesians 3:20 (TLB) --- God, by his mighty power at work within us, is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of – infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes.
 
Remember what God says about these dreams and His work?  Read on:
 
Acts 2:17 (nlt) --- 'In the last days,' God says, 'I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy.  Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.
 
This week we have talked about how we think and about our minds.  We have talked about how we talk and the stuff we let come out of our hearts.  Today's e-devotion demonstrates what happens when we let God fill our hearts and our minds.  We dream His dreams and see God-size stuff happen.  That is what I want!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
