“When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. Restore our fortunes, Lord, like streams in the Negev. Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.”

Psalm 126

The Inevitability of a Dream

We are the beginning and the end of all things good or bad, pure or evil, light or dark. Everything wrong with the world that we perceive can also create a solution within us, but we also must have the courage to bring such things into existence. The longer it delays the more the need grows, and some spend their entire lives with this longing but instead isolating themselves to unfulfilled destiny until death calls and regrets are all that remain. Life is an illusion and it can change to whatever we decide it must become for better or worse, and this design is purposeful to inspire character in those brave enough to believe in their own power to change it, those just crazy enough or weird enough to see a better way. Many in this life have retreated to be only witnesses to what others would decide they should be but also entombing themselves in pride to believe it was their decision all along, when in fact they never reached far enough inwardly to realize that all of their desires and dreams are attainable if they believe enough to know that it can be created. There is a question of character when one decided that their pride would be sourced from the design that others have created for them, but the essence of creative design is that each one of our destinies are formless, made just for the each of us in ways that no other could understand and yet when it is made into reality, it would make perfect sense. For that same reason it’s also terrifying, because to believe in the unseen also means believing in that which has never been seen before, so much so that even we would be witnesses to our own gifts and never knowing we could accomplish so many great things until they happened. A dream can be a curse and also a blessing. Dreams are often so beautiful that it is an image we can never forget but are so often tragically separated from us the longer time goes on, deciding to not chase and let it rest into what could have been. A blessing however is made when that dream inspires you to become better than who you were and let the it evolve into an unfolding of a grand design meant just for you, but it takes courage to let it be so. This world is a rigid and ignorant one, people who don’t know what the believe or what they want but so certain they do, chasing nothing except their egos to remain steadfast in their own tombs. Dreamers see beyond the pale and see a future that can reap rewards for all, and such belief is what created prosperous times in the hands of those who believed in a greater power invested in them and claimed responsibility for it. God invests vision into us and gives us the choice to be brave enough to claim it. It is a difficult road however because all will reject such things and therefore tests faith to persevere even when isolated and made to look the fool… until it works, and the world calls you a genius. The world was made by people no smarter than us, so it is only a step away from change. Therefore the inevitability of dreams and faith in those dreams is the “what if”, and having just enough perseverance to give it a chance even if it takes years to be so, and never compromising yourself to see it through. It is more than a test of achievement but also the long game of seeing if character is built firmly enough to sustain the storm. So believe in yourself and invest confidence in what is uniquely yours, because no one else sees it but you, believe in it and chase it because this life fades before the blink of an eye. There is nothing more to life except character and perseverance, not to be normal but to be a force of change in a broken world. We can do anything we can set our minds to because faith and prayer changes things, so give it a chance before you die, there’s nothing else to existence except so.
