Dreaming with God

When God first told me 3 years ago that He'll get me far in the career path I chose to pursue, I dedicated the next few years to letting Him build my character.
I knew a good Dad will only hand you a great destiny, when He trusts you to be able to handle the responsibilities that come with it. 
Because the more faithful I am to Him, the more equipped I will be to carry out His purpose in my life. 

But recently, He shifted my perspective. 
One day, in the midst of my daily routines, I asked God, "Why did you choose me to stay faithful?" 
After all, I was still chasing & loving God the same way I've been for many years now. 
There are so many of my friends who try to seek You but can't find You. There are so many people who once knew you & walked away. So why me? Why do I still love you?

& God spoke to my heart. 
It wasn't that God was giving me a greater destiny according to how faithful I was. 
Someone needed to grasp hold of His dream in order to claim it as their own, & I was simply the one who said yes. 
I hadn't earned my destiny, God had gifted me with one from the very beginning. 
I didn't deserve it, & I most definitely wasn't more qualified than anyone else around me. 
& if I had chosen to walk away, my destiny would not have changed.

His dream has been carved into my bones, registered into my DNA. It occupies my mind, & it fills my heart until I feel like it's about to burst. 
I dream because He dreamt for me first, & I am faithful to Him because He was first faithful to me.

His promises of success isn't even what motivates me to work towards my goal anymore- It's the revelation that I have such an important role in bringing Heaven onto Earth, & living out His heart & purpose in the best possible way that I can. A role important enough that He would break me & mold me for 3 whole years before He could hand it over to me. A role important enough for Him to have created it millions of years ago, patiently waiting for the right person to steward it & the right time for it to manifest. A role important enough, that the way He will choose to reveal His love to hundreds & thousands of people is through a small unqualified girl who was given a great destiny. 

Gotta keep dreaming.
