Desires of the Heart - Put There For a Reason

Perhaps in the past you have been chastised for having what seems to be an unrealistic dream for your life. As life goes on, you get a job and forget those deep longings of the heart because you must be responsible or "grow up."
But what if the desires of your heart were put there by God? What if He designed you to be doing what you dreamed of?
Perhaps in the world's eyes you might seem crazy to spend time day dreaming, but God has been waiting on the sidelines for you to start looking beyond the possible into the seemingly impossible.
Why not spend 10 or 15 minutes thinking about what you really love doing? What really makes your heart beat a little faster? Look at things you consider hobbies or free time activities. Or think about the things you did when you were a kid. What makes you feel true joy?
Now take these things and just dream. What would your life look like if you could do this full time? Perhaps as part of a ministry for God?
There are no rules here. You are just imagining. What would it look like? Where would you be? What would your days be like? Where would you live? Who would be with you?
Why not go on the adventure of life with God and imagine. Think about it. God put those desires of your heart inside you for a reason!
