Dreamsssssss...
Suddenly i feel like rambling so here am i to just crap again.. Today was a great day.. Mark Templer is in town and he did a great job delivering a great sermon regarding Dreams.. And that is probably what stirred up my heart and think abt the past again..
Dreams always start from a small little spark... Fire is so dangerous and that why we are told not to play with fire since young. right?? A small spark when fed with fuel, a small little puny spark can become a great and raging fire which can devour and devastated the land.. I'm sure we all know of that.. But similarily, a little spark can be easily snuffed out by little wind and little stuff.. One blow and poof! The little spark is gone n dead...
As Mark had preached.. Since young as kids, we often dream.. Kids are so pure hearted and so innocent.. They do not see the harsh reality and often delights in the fantasies of their dreams.. Kids are so different from adults.. They do not have much to think abt and neither do they have much to care about.. In their own pure-hearted minds, they often just dream happily without any worries in the world.. It is just such a blessing to be a child.. How often do i and have i long to go back to the times when i was just a kid without much worries in the world and having the warm protection from my family and away from the harsh realities of life..
As a kid, i often dreamt about the impossible.. I dreamt of being a righteous lawyer who fight for justice and equality for the corrupt country against the evil forces.. I also often dreamt of being a policeman who fight and capture hardcore criminals and put them in the jail to where they deserve to me in.. Hahaha.. Apparently i watch too much HK shows when i was young and got influenced by the loyalty and justice traits in the shows.. :P I also dreamt of being a doctor who can saves precious lifes and help the society.. Talk abt a typical SG young and naive kid.. I'm sure i'm one of them.. hahaha.. :p
But well, all these dreams started to fade away as i grew older and as the harsh truth of my own capabilities and limitations surfaced one by one.. What are all these dreams to me now?? It is just a passing thought now.. A dream that was once there but will never be able to be achieve now...
Mark preached about having a desire to make a small impact in people's life.. He talked about our spiritual dreams... The dreams that we had for the kingdom as a young christian.. That was the time which we are often so zealous, so happy although we were young, ignorant and unknowlegdeble.. That was also the time when we are often radical, bold and at the time enjoying our christian walk with God the most.. Impacting peoples' lifes with love and friendship seems more n more foreign as time pass by.. Is it becos God have change or is it becos i have grown weary under the influences of this world?? I believe it is the latter cos God don't change.. 8 yrs in the church have been a great thing.. Although i find myself sometimes hanging on and debating within my ownself whether christianity is for me or not, i know i cannot deny the fact that God is alive and He have really taken care of me throughout all these years and He have a plan for me..
Mark's lesson had changed my perspective regarding dreams abit.. Make me realise that dreams are there to motivate me.. God is still there.. He is still waiting for me.. All my long lost spiritual dreams are still there.. A revival can only be done from the heart.. Reviving my own heart seems to be hard but yet not impossible.. Just as it take times for God to change Mose's heart to lead the Isreal and also time for Peter to get back on track after he betrayed Jesus, it is also time to reflect more on my ownself and to find back the lost dreams inside the deep part of my own heart.. Despite trying hard to deny and to supress the fire, it is amazing to see how much i actually still desire for all these dreams to come true after reflection.. A fire within own heart and maybe it is time to acknowledge it.. Amen..
A song that i love alot and it is also about dreams.. I think this is also one of Andrew's favorite songs too.. :)
Don't lose your way with each passing day.. You come so far,don't throw it away.. Live believing.. Dreams are for weaving.. Wonders are waiting to come.. Live your story.. Faith, hope and glory.. Hold to the truth in your heart.. If we hold on together, i know our dreams will never die.. Dreams see us through through forever, as clouds roll by. for you and i..
I think the lyrics might be abit wrong cos i'm writing it out out of my own memories.. so if it is wrong, pls pardon me.. I guess i'm getting old.. Memories not too good liao.. hahaha.. I guess this is end for this entry.. Hahaha... :)
