In Mark Batterson's One Prayer message "Make Us Dreamers" he talked about followers of Christ being part of the greatest dream ever. That greatest dream ever was Jesus' command known as the Great Commission to go spread the good news to the ends of the earth.
So many times after reading and listening to the Great Commission for the 312th time it can become routine. Mark reminded us though that in Jesus' world the average person never went more than something like 35 miles from where they were born. For Jesus to call his disciples to take the Gospel to the ENDS OF THE EARTH was a huge crazy dream from a human perspective. This God sized dream could only be accomplished through the power of God at work through his disciples and his church.
I wonder if we are dreaming God sized dreams for ourselves, our families and our church or we are only capable of dreaming our man-sized dreams? If you can accomplish your dream by your own it is a man-sized dream. If you can only accomplish your dream with God's help and through His intervention then you are beginning to touch God's dream for you, for your family and for your church.
