Why are we always the ones telling ourselves no? Our desires, our dreams... even the things we just want. Why do we shoot them down?
Who are you to say you can't have something? Are you God? Who told you that you couldn't have that thing you want? Was it God? Well, was it?
Nope. It never even made it to Him. You shot it down before it ever could. The lyrics to "Eye of the Tiger" hit me again:
"Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past. You must fight just to keep them alive"
Why are we fighting to lose our dreams? Why aren't we fighting for the crazy things?
Ask God for a million dollars. Go ahead. Ask Him. Do you want a million dollars? If you don't, don't ask Him. If you do, why not ask Him?
Maybe He wants you to have it. Maybe you're supposed to ask.
Take the roof off of your dreams and visions. Take the roof off of what you want. You think too small. You think God's like a man. He's not. Stop shooting down dreams before they happen.
Let God be dad. Let yourself be the little kid who asks for the crazy things. And keep asking. And keep asking. Make God say no.
Because chances are He's actually saying "YES!" and we just aren't asking. The things in our heart that we want...
And I know this because I do it... I get this happy thought about something that could be awesome and I immediately trash it to shreds with logic.
Well, hold on a second. God never said it had to be logical! Logic is not required for your desires.. He just wants childlike imagination and trust that God loves you more than this whole world.
So let God be God. Stop taking His place and rendering your own verdict. Ask Him and trust that He loves you... even enough to say Yes.
I believe we're supposed to start asking God again because He wants to say yes. But if we're too afraid of God saying no, we'll stop asking. We won't believe. So force Him to say no, by believing He'll say yes. Who knows, you might find He's fully given what you've wanted all along.
