“You are never too old to set another goal
or to dream a new dream.” C. S. Lewis
I
spent 14 hours with C. S. Lewis (CD’s of some of his books) in all of my
travels over the Christmas holidays. Needless to say, we bonded. As I consider
this New Year, I was reminded to set another goal and/or dream a new dream.
2
Corinthians 5:6-9 says that we are to live our lives in belief and hope in
Christ not by what the world shows us. And so our reality is really our future dream
not what is going on around us. We would rather be in our future dream of
heaven but this dream gives us the courage to live in the present world. So
wherever we fall in this world/heaven area our goal is to strive in zealous
pursuit of hearing, “Well done!” from our Heavenly Father God through Christ
Jesus. (OK, I’m channeling my inner C.S. Lewis.)
For we walk by faith, not
by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the
body and at home with the Lord. So whether we are at home or away, we make it
our aim to please Him. 2 Corinthians 5:6-9
I
have decided for my 2015 New Year’s resolution to strive for the “well done.” I’m
setting this as a goal. I’m dreaming this as a new dream.
And, thank you C.S. Lewis, it’s not too late
to pursue this.
It's not too late for you to dream this dream either.
There is no expiration date in pleasing God.
