The Importance of my Dream
The other night I just had a dream that I was getting married. I was getting married to this handsome Indian man. We were at the ceremony and going to be wed. Let me paint a picture for you. We were at the edge of a river, which was about fifty feet wide. There was only a tiny stream of clear water running through it. We stood on the bank with everyone around. It was a simple small beautiful wedding. There weren't a lot of people. My husband-to-be stood by an Indian minister. I stood about fifteen feet away from them, as was the custom.
Then I walked up to a person wearing black. I bowed down before him. As I began to bow down someone said his name*Jesus. I bowed in fear. Right then, my future husband walked up to me and coarsely whispered, knowingly, "You're not the one." That was it. I'm not the one. My man knew. Somehow, he knew I wasn't the one for him.
Was that not the saddest dream ever? I've always had dreams that I was in love. That someone loved me. That I was happily married to a man who would adore me and love me forever. Oddly, I was loved this time; but I wasn't destined to be with the one I love. Do you know what this means? That I'm growing in God. Isn't that wonderful? Don't you see? My dreams had always been about a man and me. My dreams about love weren't ever about God or Jesus. They were always about my wants and me. I think the moment I really stopped wanting for myself and wanting what God was giving me; I grew up. Not only did I grow up on the outside but in my heart as well.
Does this make any sense? The meaning of my encounter is that in wanting what God wanted for me; I was able to climb up another step toward him. And not only did his wants show up in me but in my dreams as well, in my heart. When we want what God, wants and knows is good for us, then will we receive his blessings and glory.
So, I'd like to take this time to encourage you to seek what he wants. Especially when it comes to relationships. God's always willing to find you love. He just doesn't want you to end up with broken hearts.
