Good advice from Moses, Winston Churchill, and Billy Joe Daugherty: Never give up on your dreams.
Did you know that a mustang, that wild and free embodiment of the Spirit of the Wild West, is really just a workhorse who jumped the fence? He lifted his eyes and thought, "What would happen if I broke out of this corral?" What happened is that he became all he was born to be. And sometimes we also need to jump the fence to become all we were born to be.
We all have hopes and dreams. But I want to encourage you today to believe in them. Not to just think, "Oh, wouldn't that be nice," but to walk in real assurance that you could one day see them come true. Yes, your dreams may seem impossible for you, and they may actually be, but Jesus said, "The things are impossible with men are possible with God."
There's a false humility that says, "I'm nothing. Nobody. No-one." But God wants you to know He created something awesome when He created you. Yes, God wants you to believe in yourself.
Believeing in God means having confidence in Him to help you to do the things you can't do on your own. God is faithful. When you trust Him, He won't let you down.
Those dreams in your heart aren't put there as a tease - God wants to make them come true.
When you pray for something God promised, His answer is always "Yes." Not "no", "maybe" or, "I'll have to think about that", just..."Yes!"
Forget what's behind and reach for what's ahead, because God has good things planned for you!
