Resting in our Dreams

This past week I had the opportunity to travel to Coorg which is in southeast India in the Western Ghats. The area is so beautiful and peaceful. No more car horns or constant exhaust smell. It was a great time to process all that the Lord has been doing for the past two months, and even get a little rest in before coming back to the city for two more weeks.

It's in those times that I just want to sit with God and dream with Him. "Lord these are my desires. How can we achieve them." In second Samuel God tells David that He was willing to give him any desire. That's because David's heart was so interwoven with God's that nothing David asked for was in the realm of vanity. When we are close to Him, His desires become ours.

I believe some of us have this mentality that God is so huge(which is true) and we are these incredible sinners(which is not true, we're saints) that we don't want to bother God with our "petty" inquiries. What we fail to realize though is that our Daddy loves us so much. He saved us, and we are his children, and there is nothing too small that He won't give to us. I'm not talking about a "health, wealth, and prosperity" gospel, but what I am takling about is a Daddy soo giving that just loves to pour Himself out on His kids. God is a holistic God. He covers every need and desire. Like I said earlier, when our heart is near to His, our desires our His desires. "How much more will the Father in heaven give good gifts to those that ask Him?(Matthew 7)"

When we were kids we had faith and hearts that viewed nothing as unnatainable, and now we are children of the most gracious Giver. So just open your hearts and your palms to the heavens, and start to dream again. Pray hard and obnoxiously! It's Christmas 365 days a year!
