I’m sure we can all relate in some way to having our dreams and hopes come crashing down. You didn’t get the promotion you wanted, or the lead you had to start your business fell through. Maybe your relationship ended, or you have doubts you’ll ever find the mate of your dreams. Well, it doesn’t really matter which scenario identifies most closely with your situation, God is always good at helping us pick up the pieces, get dusted off, and getting back up again. We know the enemy isn’t happy when we are experiencing victory. He is the one who kills, steals and destroys. When destruction takes place, or our dream dies, or the enemy tries to steal our joy, we need to remember who to run to. We run right to God. HE is our fortress and our refuge, a very present help in times of trouble. Too often, the opposite happens. People go through a rough patch, and instead of running into the arms of God, they run away. They isolate themselves from their life-giving friends, and they hide out. Instead of hiding out, we need to hang out….hang out with the ones who can build you up and encourage you. Hang out where you hear the Word of God, in church! Hang out with your believing friends. We need to be around faith filled people who can help to breathe hope back into us. God can put us back together again. If you’re feeling torn apart, my prayer for you is that today you would let God begin to mend you back together again. He has big dreams for you. Run into His arms.
