"In my first defense, none was by my side, but all of them forsaken me; Do not be taken into account. But the Lord was by my side, and gave me strength ... "
2 Timothy 4: 16-17
This message, I write it because sometimes it is very difficult to be a dreamer, to have a dream of God in our path and realize it has a price, and the highest price is loneliness.If I analyze Jose's life in the Bible, I realize that during his trial after he was sold as a slave, to the house of Potiphar, the jail, his only company was God.
We as humans are always going to look for people to occupy that place that only God can occupy, but our purpose is in the hands of God, and he will fulfill it. In my life experience I had to go through hard moments of loneliness, and without tell, when we have Judas around us who sell us for a few coins, but this is the fate of a dreamer, God will never give his plans to immature people, without character and who do not fully trust him.
God, is a God of details, is pending every minute and second of our lives, so I met him, in the smallest and intimate details. I hope you can enjoy this video, which shows us a little that Jesus is always on our side.
Recently talking with some friends over the past few days, we made an account of how many things could change in a year, people, relationships, governments, lives, at the end of that conversation we came to the conclusion that the only constant in our lives had always been God, because the years and the stages of our life were passing and his love was still valid, his Word kept changing us and our astonishment towards Him increased day by day. When everyone leaves your side rather than being a time to grieve, it's a perfect opportunity to spend time with God! Paul experienced God giving him strength in the midst of his solitude, and the same Lord of the apostle who accompanied him and strengthened him in his prison days is with you today accompanying you in every moment of your life.
Your dream is your destiny, We can see three truths for the dreamers. First, your dream will threaten others. The brothers hated Joseph. Many love what we do for God, but others also feel threatened because dreams widen, empower and when you work, there are results. Those who have no vision feel threatened by your dreams.
Second, dreamers never stop dreaming. José had dreams constantly.
Third, dreamers understand other dreamers. When Joseph was in prison, he interpreted the dreams of those who were there. That led him to interpret Pharaoh's dreams. I want to surround myself with dreamers because they inspire me, they make me a better, more courageous person.
The first thing is that you need the will to live, despite the problems you want that dream, you also need the will to be successful. God will not give you a mediocre dream or destined to fail, it will give you a dream of success. There are good and bad successes as well when everything is about us, but good success is when it comes to the kingdom of God and living for something greater than us.
The Holy Spirit helps us to achieve God's purpose and we need it, because being a dreamer can lead us to a life of loneliness. If your dream makes others feel threatened, it will be a struggle to find who understands, accompanies and helps you. You see things with different eyes, that is why we have the Holy Spirit to help us, comfort us and bring consolation to our heart. How many times have I had to endure the betrayal, the envy and the bad behavior, at some point I came to think that I had a problem, until one day the Lord told me:
Darlenys, life a Jose is like that, you have to be strong and brave, and you know what your mistake has been? tell your dreams, it was the same thing that happened to Jose, he told his dream to his brothers, which caused a whole process, if people are not ready for that dream, and they are immature, they will be stumbling blocks, so keep that I have given you as a treasure, attach it to your heart and walk from my hand, it is enough.
It really has cost me tears to understand it, because most of the time the emotions surround us, but the dreamers, we are processed in the midst of loneliness and betrayals, of the people we love the most and those who least expect it.
If God gives you a vision, it is because I trust you, we can not make the mistake of surrendering our viison, because we simply fail, once I told someone about something I wanted to do, then this person did it, immediately the holy spirit He spoke to my heart: if I had wanted to give that vision to that person I would not have revealed it to you, you must learn to be prudent with the things of the kingdom.
Albert Einstein said: -It is strange to be known universally, and at the same time to feel alone.
John 16:32
... you will be scattered, each one by his side, and you will leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
"Solitude is a desert, but receiving it as a gift, accepting it from the hand of God, and offering it again with thanksgiving, can become a path to holiness, to glory, and to God himself" (Elisabeth Elliot).
