Blooming Dreams

Does God bring dreams to pass? Do you have dreams yet to be fulfilled? The Bible gives lots of examples of people with God given dreams that came to pass.

What about you, do you still have dreams inside that you believe are from the Lord? Are you still waiting for those dreams to come to pass?

The Lord appointed seasons for our benefit. In this season, plants are in full bloom. Could it be possible that our dreams are in full bloom? Think about the following statement.

Dreams are in full bloom.

Bloom. What exactly does it mean to bloom?

According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary (online), it means to produce or yield flowers; to mature into achievement of one’s potential.

Let’s dissect the part that may apply to us; to mature into achievement of one’s potential.

Mature means to come to full development. We can understand that a child is not mature while a parent may be considered mature. In Christ, to be mature is to be planted and growing in discipleship thus having a continuing relationship with our Lord.

Achievement means something accomplished successfully especially by means of exertion, skill, practice or perseverance. To achieve, we must put forth effort and not quit before it is completed. In Christ, we have to persevere in what we’re called to accomplish for His glory. Some of our achievements may be education, marriage (and still married years later), having our own family, career, and so forth.

Potential means possessing the capacity for growth or development. It’s an ability that is present, but not visible at this point. As a parent, I can see the potential in my children. I can see that each one has skills that can be developed. The Lord, know what potential we have within us and each stage of our life is a process preparing us for that purpose.

Therefore, if our God given dreams are in full bloom, we’ve reached a place of maturity in Christ that we’re ready to yield and produce sweet fragrant flowers. We’re rooted in His deep love. We’ve persevered through storms and trials to reach this point in our growth with the power and strength of other believers rooted in Christ. Now we are another step closer to realization of our purpose. It’s there ready to produce. Stay firm.

Ephesians 3:20 AMP

Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]—

To God be the glory in Christ Jesus forever and ever, Amen!
