He Makes All things New
Today's Scripture
"…and He who is seated on the throne said, See! I make all things new…" (Revelation 21:5, AMP).
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
When God puts a dream in your heart, when He puts a promise on the inside, He deposits within you everything you need to accomplish that dream. He wouldn't give you the desire to do something without giving you the ability to fulfill it. In fact, the scripture tells us that God gives us the desires of our heart. In other words, He puts the desire inside of us and then works with us to bring it to pass.
Oftentimes, people set out to accomplish their dreams, but they face a setback or disappointment, and then they feel like their time has passed. But let me tell you today, no matter where you've come from, no matter what's happened in your past, God wants to make you new. He wants to give you a "do over," a fresh start. If you feel like you've missed opportunities in your life, if you feel like your time has passed, remember, today is a new day. You are a new person, and God has new opportunities in store for you. If one dream has died, it's time to dream a new dream.
A Prayer for Today
Father in heaven, thank You for making all things new. I give You this day and invite You to have Your way in every area of my life. I choose to receive all the promises You have in store for me. In Jesus' Name. Amen

I have two questions about this:
1.) How do we know the dream originated with God...?
2.) What if he doesn't give us what we need to accomplish the dream?
When I was a kid, I had an overwhleming dream to be a dancer. I took lessons for many years and finally the school said to my parents, 'it's not worth your money - she doesn't have the body type or co-ordination.'
While on one hand, the honesty was useful, the dream was zapped. I guess it could be argued that it wasn't God's dream for my life - but I sure thot it was at the time.'
I think this is a religious 'true-ism' that isn't necessarily true in real life.
Lori, I think you need to differentiate between desires and aspirations. Your aspiration was to dance. Had it been your desire, you would still be dancing. Regardless of whether you had the body type or co-ordination. But I think you've answered your own question from the quote that you took from my blog. "When God puts a dream in your heart...." already indicates that the dream came from God. When He does that, puts the dream in us, He also gives us what we require to make the dream happen.
