Better Than a Fairy Tale



“We all dream dreams and know very well that they don’t always work out.  Life is particularly hard on high expectations.  Things hardly ever fall together the way we would have scripted them.  The fact is, if we put our hope in a certain set of circumstances working out in a certain way at certain times, we’re bound to be disappointed because nothing in this life is certain.
 

“So what’s the solution?  To give up on dreams?


“No, it is for us to realize that if we belong to God, there are even bigger dreams for our lives than our own.  But in order to walk in those bigger dreams, we may face greater obstacles than we ever imagined and find ourselves compelled to rely on a much more powerful and magnificent God than we ever knew before…

“Some people might call it a fairy tale, but it’s really a miracle.  And a miracle is better than a fairy tale.”
