Dreams

Do you feel free to pursue your dreams? Do you feel like something is holding you back? What makes your dreams seem so unattainable? How often do we really apply God's word that has been given to us? I know that many of us know the scripture, but do we really know what the words mean in our day to day life. It is very difficult to know how to apply the scripture when we are caught up in the present world of worry, things, and other people's opinions. We really cannot understand or follow through on our dreams if our mind is focused on the chatter of our mind and its worries.

"The seed cast in the weeds is the person who hears the kingdom news, but weeds of worry and illusions about getting more and wanting everything under the sun strangle what was heard, and nothing comes of it.
"The seed cast on good earth is the person who hears and takes in the News, and then produces a harvest beyond his wildest dreams."
Matthew 13:22-23
Jesus has just finishing giving the parable about the sower and the seeds cast on different kinds of grounds. The disciples did not understand, and Jesus explains it to them in the above passage. So do your dreams get choked out by the illusion of getting more and more to satisfy ego? What if you were a person who heard the good news and it let you know who you really were, and there was nothing you needed to gain to make your dreams come true? We all have been given a dream by our Creator and the worries of this life, our ego, our fears, choke that dream out. We think that we need something more to make our dreams come true. We need to remember that they are not our dreams, they are our Creators placed in us and our Creator will make them come to pass. We only need to allow the good news to penetrate our souls, our minds, our hearts, and apply the this news to our lives. Dreams will come to pass when we know the good news.
Namaste'
