Today is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. He was a visionary, a peace-loving, godly man. He had a dream of a better world. Many share his dream.
I had a dream - an actual vision while I was sleeping at night dream - a few nights into the new year. In it my "boss" told me I would soon have time to pursue a new interest/activity. He made it sound like a challenge, an adventure. I didn't want to leave my job, but he was so kind and gentle, I sensed I wasn't being fired but given an opportunity. I woke wondering what the Lord was saying to me. He was obviously my "boss." Is this new year the beginning of a new chapter in my life?
I have a dream. I pray with millions of others that God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I have more personal dreams, too - dreams the Lord has put in my heart. I have faith He will fulfill those dreams in His good time.
As you honor and celebrate King's birthday and accomplishments this weekend, remember to honor and celebrate the One who put those dreams in the man's heart. Praise be to God who both gives and fulfills dreams.
