God provides the strength we need to accomplish great deeds for him.
There is a great power in dreaming big. Such vision implies a long-term approach to ministry. Many leaders suffer from having to constantly rethink their vision because it was so small they accomplished it quickly, or so insignificant it barely seemed worth the effort. God’s vision for your life, though, is grand. His vision is not one you are likely to accomplish in a year or two. A few Christian visionaries have learned that once you catch His vision, it will outlive you. Your role is to grasp it, articulate it, and see that it gets acted upon.
Dreaming big, through Gods enablement, is also one means of allowing you to see and to flaunt Gods power and majesty. His desires are so much better and more meaningful than our own that when we envision them and fully support them; the spiritual and emotional empowerment is incredible. People become genuinely excited over the grand possibilities.
Do you know someone who works hard in service for God? Send that person an unexpected note or email of encouragement. Let that person know you see, acknowledge and appreciate the hard work they do and add them to your prayer list. Then open your own eyes and heart to let God use you to accomplish His desires. Take a step through the door that leads to a much more fulfilled life, one that allows God to use you in ways you could never imagine.
