The Dream Trap

The Dream Trap

We sleep.

We dream.

We wish.

When our reality falls short

of what we expect,

tears come.

Curses are thrown.

“Why Lord?”

“Why?”

We pay no mind to what is,

We only dwell on what isn’t.

We care not for what could be,

We only think on what didn’t.

God smiles and presents

HIS Perfect Will.

We don't care.

We ignore.

We are busy thinking

and struggling for what we cannot have.

Are our dreams that important?

No…. not really

But we chase them anyway.

If we finally catch one, we rejoice!

But our happiness is fragile.

Before too long,

we realize that we want more.

Joy

 is as fleeting

as the setting sun.

It shines,

So bright for a time,

and then

 fades

into darkness.

It may have been brilliant

and beautiful for that short time,

but it still fades.

Then,

A new idea streaks

Into view.

We follow,

Determined to be happy.

But chasing

shooting stars

just makes

us

tired.

Instead of hoping for what could be,

Instead of running around wildly,

Think on what is.

Think on what God is calling you to be.

Our life is HIS.
