Your Question:
What if I have to give up my dreams and aspirations?
Answer:
As I reflect on your question, "What if I have to give up my dreams and aspirations?" I'm reminded of how God has led me in my own life. When I was called to pastor a local evangelical church, I had to give up my personal ambitions and plans. It was a difficult decision, but I knew it was what God wanted for me. I had to surrender my own understanding of my ways and allow God to take me directly into His purpose for the world. I've seen this principle play out in the lives of many people, including those who have been called to return to their homeland after being exiled. They began with elevated hopes and dreams, but when they had to give up their personal plans, they were able to be completely aligned with God's interests. It's a difficult but necessary step in fulfilling God's purpose for our lives. If we hold onto our own personal interests and ambitions, we cannot be completely identified with God's interests. As I think about my own life, I'm reminded of how God has given me a dream to share the gospel with others through my church. It's not a selfish dream, but one that I believe is given to me by God. I've had to give up my own personal plans and ambitions to make room for God's purpose in my life. It's not always easy, but it's worth it to see God's plan unfold in my life and the lives of those around me.
