Our dreams gives us a reason for living. our dream gives us a reason to get out of bed each morning. to hope that something good is coming our way. it challenges us to keep moving so as to bring out the very best within us. often, in a quest to achieve our dreams, our imagination is stimulated to see opportunities and reach out to it.
ED hay told a story in his book (twelve and a half keys, Eastern, Kansas: forest of peace books, 1981, "the stranger's bargain". in the story, Satan bargained with a young man to buy his dream. "why don't u buy my soul for say sometime?" the young man must have asked. Satan replied, " I'm not in the market for sleep-dreamers or even daydreamers, says Satan, " what i buy is the dream. if i were to obtain your soul, i would have just one soul, but if i were to purchase your dream, then i have changed the course of history."p53
imagine if Abraham had not held up to his own bargain or if he had sold his dream, what would have happen? all great men of history learn to dream. it all started with a dream; the seven wonders of the world, the landing of man in the moon, the discovery of nations all started with a dream.... hope u have a dream? see u next week.
