Saddest Day in History

The day after the crucifixion and before the Resurrection. Even those who truly believed that Jesus was the Messiah had 2 days to wait before what they hoped came true. You may be at a point in your life between hoping and seeing your dream come to pass. The only place to find peace is to put your faith in Jesus and His love for you. If you put your faith in your dream (even though it may be from God) you will never have the peace that comes when we are completely trusting in Him. The truth is some dreams are our dreams. They may be good dreams and we may or may not get to see them come to pass but when we are trusting in Jesus, regardless of whether they do or don't come, you will be filled with His love and His peace. If your dream is from God it likely will take much longer to come to pass than you ever imagined. Many give up on their dream during this period. Many accept less than God had planned for them because they assume they are not good enough to "earn something this good". Truth is, none of us are good enough, but God's love is rich enough to go way beyond what we deserve. Like all good parents the Lord promises to not hold back on any good thing to those who are His children (Ps. 84:11). I encourage you to pick your dream back up, hand it to the Lord and allow Him to refine it, He may just give it all back to you with a promise that if you will trust Him with all your heart, you may be just like the disciples who arrived at the grave early Sunday morning and discovered He was not there. He was in the process of bringing all the pieces together to fulfill the dream of His Father, to provide the grace necessary to bring dream after dream "back from the dead". Sunday did come. Jesus did come back from the dead and your dream may well come to life again too. Not even death could hold down God's awesome power. He is alive and I think I hear your dreams rattling the stone that has kept them in the grave for too long. Don't give up, God has good planned for you and He does not hold back to those that are His!
