who are they?

Who are they?

There are so many people who come through our lives that leave a mark on us.  Some will stick around for a long time while others seem to come in and out as fast as they possibly can.  What is true is that people matter and people leave a lasting impression or mark on our lives.

Meet the dreamer.

This is the person that almost never keeps their feet on the ground.  They think big and think long.  They have plans that are what many would call “over the top” or simply out there somewhere.  People have told them for a long time to be more realistic or to stop wasting their time.

But God made the dreamer.  He has put in their hearts dreams and passion to accomplish things that no one else can.  Maybe you are a dreamer.  Then dream.  Maybe you know a dreamer or two.  Encourage them to dream and dream big

I’d say that I am a dreamer, and this is something that I cherish and am grateful for.  Ask God to fill and fuel your dreams so you accomplish what He created you to do and the difference you are made to make.

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.

Meet the doer.

You have been around them and know these are the people you want on your team or around you because stuff gets done when they do it.  They have skilled hands and sharp minds that can see a plan come together as well as get other people involved.  

They can listen to the dreamer and put steps or feet to the dreams.  It takes all of us to accomplish what God has put before us.  The dreamer needs the doer and vice versa.  The doer is the one that is always getting it done and often with a smile on their face and a spring in their step.

I love being around people that are doers.  They inspire me and help me realize that by myself I cannot do a lot, but when we get together, things get done.

James 1:22-24  NASB  

But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not just hearers who deceive themselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; 24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.

Meet their God.

We are not all alike, and that is a good thing.  If we are all the same, nothing would get done and the world would be a little bland or boring.  That is where God comes in to play.  Follow His instructions and watch things come together that would never have been possible.

Matthew 19:26  NLT

Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.”

James 4:17  NASB

So for one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, for him it is sin.

You were made to count.  God put in you gifts, abilities and heart to accomplish stuff and to live life.  Now it is our turn to serve, to live, to do and even to dream.  Do what God has called you to do and make a difference along the way.

I have asked you this week to pray for the mission trip to Cuba.  Next week I get to spend time with some dreamers and doers.  It will be awesome.  Life is a lot more fun when we are doing what God made us to do!
