Awaken Your God-Given Dreams

INTRODUCTION

Imagine taking out a box that's hidden at the very back of your closet. While the box may look ordinary on the outside, it contains everything that is valuable to you.

This box has been given to you when you were young and the moment you saw it, you already knew that the things inside it were specifically made for you.

This box is your dream box.

What is inside this dream box? Do you even remember the last time you opened it?

Perhaps you are wondering why a box containing these wonderful treasures would be hidden at the back of your closet. Shouldn't its contents be displayed at the most prominent part of the house?

Yet we do that sometimes.

Aren't we guilty of hiding our beautiful things instead of using them, believing that somehow we can preserve their beauty? Or worse, someone might steal them away?

We treat our dreams the same way.

We keep some of our dreams hidden away in a box that we carefully put at the back of the closet. We only open that box on moments when we want to feel hopeful. We look at it when we need to feel inspired. And sometimes, during moments of nostalgia - when we want to remember the time when we were young and everything felt possible.

But beautiful things like your dreams are not meant to be hidden away and only to be looked upon once in a while. They are meant to be used (or in the case of your dreams, pursued), lest they will be forgotten.

How many dreams are so tucked in the deepest corner of your heart that you have already forgotten about them?

You may have reasons for keeping your dreams hidden: you lack the time, money or even the opportunity to do them. Perhaps you have experienced heartbreak, hopelessness or discouragement.

Or you might have been busy at work to even look at your dream box. I know I have.

Friends, I encourage you right now to look at your dream box and - finally - one by one awaken your God-given dreams. It is such a wonderful way to live!

Your dreams come from God. And He has personally given those dreams specifically to you for a greater purpose.

You are made to follow your dreams, and this book will guide you as you awaken and achieve those God-given dreams.

This book will help answer some questions such as:

· Where do dreams begin?

· If God wants me to dream, then why do my plans fail?

· How can I recognize my God-given dreams?

· What hinders me from reaching my dreams?

This book will also offer 5 practical tools that you can use to achieve your dreams. These tools are simple yet powerful enough to help you make your dreams come true. Like David's sling and stones, they can help you conquer the giants that come in between you and your desires.

And finally, more than give you answers, this book asks a crucial question.

I believe that sometimes a question is even more powerful than an answer; and by the end of this book you will be faced with a question that only you can answer:

What is it that I want?

It's a question that may seem selfish to you, but it may surprise you that it's a question Jesus likes asking.

This book is for dreamers (and soon-to-be dreamers) of any age. No matter where you are right now, no matter how old you are and what you do for a living, you are made to achieve great things for God.

This book is about desires and dreams, and using them to glorify God. It is my sincerest desire to see dreamers awakened and passionate in fulfilling their dreams. The world needs godly dreamers who are fully awake and alive!

We need you and what you can offer.

I pray that by the end of this book, you can find the answer to Jesus' question. I hope that you will have that earnest desire to fulfill your dreams. I believe you can.

Let's get ready to discover and awaken those God-given dreams!
