The Season to Dream Again

Oh this morning comes the sweetness of the Lord saying, it’s the season to “dream again.”

Parts of our hearts have been closed off to even the smallest possibility of hope rising. The painful seasons robbed us of our delightful child-like faith.

Jesus says, “What do you wish for?”

John 15:7 “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

I can feel the weight of fear as some hearts seem unable to even speak of what they wish for. But, listen, Jesus is beckoning us to dream again.

Remember the days of old. When you danced through prayer with Him. When your eyes glistened at the mere sound of His name. When all things were still possible in your little heart.

His creativity is stirring. His delight is upon us. He wants to take us on new adventures.

I hear Him say, “Go for it. Take that land for me. It’s not your imagination, dear one. It’s My heart in you.”

I know what it’s like to feel your innocence was stolen when it comes to dreaming with Christ. I know what it’s like to once have had such childlike faith that life with Christ was full of fun and adventure.

But I also know what it’s like to suffer for it. To be mocked for it, ridiculed, and even abandoned for it. That type of pain clouds the heart of the little girls and little boys in us. That place where His children can dream into the immeasurably more life we are promised in Christ. (Ephesians 3:20)

But Jesus whispers today, “dream again, little one.”

Sit still and put your heart before Him. Let Him pry open that place in your heart that was so sorely wounded that you sealed it shut. From others, from Him, and even from yourself.

As I write this I can see Him suddenly opening wide that closed off room in your heart and a treasure chest of what looks like jewels and gold spills out on a bed of golden oil. The spoils of war are here. It’s like watching a river flowing again. Full of life and full of childlike surprise.

I feel a deep sigh of relief, a life being renewed, wounds being healed. and a deep inhale receiving all God is bringing back to life in you. Can you feel the wonder? The delight? The awe of God? Can you see the banner of love that is flying over your life? Blown by the glorious wind of His Spirit?

That place that was once sealed shut is now flooded with LIGHT🙌🏻

I can’t help but weep over it. It’s for me too. Where we’ve buried treasure out of fear, pain, and loss. Afraid to try again. Afraid to hope again. Afraid to dream again.

But, oh, the kindness of the King has come and now “burst forth.”

Isaih 54

Sing, barren woman,

you who never bore a child;

burst into song, shout for joy,

you who were never in labor;

because more are the children of the desolate woman

than of her who has a husband,”

says the Lord.

“Enlarge the place of your tent,

stretch your tent curtains wide,

do not hold back;

lengthen your cords,

strengthen your stakes.

3 

For you will spread out to the right and to the left;

your descendants will dispossess nations

and settle in their desolate cities.

Barrenness has been removed in that place in our hearts. A bursting forth has occurred like a divine explosion.

What do you wish for in this New Season? Do not be afraid to ask Him for it for it will be used for the glory of God.

I can hear the sweet childlike giggles as we approach His throne again full of faith. He is waiting our coming. Full of joy that we might BELIEVE Him for “it…”

For it is the season to “dream again.”
