One of the ways that God explains His relationship with us, is that He is our Father, and we are His children.

If there’s one thing we can all agree on about Jesus is that He didn’t do anything by half measures. No -- He threw Himself into things and when He said something, He meant it.

Jesus promised each of his disciples - that’s anyone who believes in Him - an abundant life. Yeah, right!! But in the same breath - in the very same verse in the Bible, he also says that there’s a thief - and all the thief is interested in is to steal, kill and destroy.

Well, at some point in our lives, eventually, we come to the realisation that the idea, the promise of overnight success that the world has been dangling under our noses is an empty promise.

I don’t know how you imagine your life will turn out, whether you’ll achieve your life’s purpose or not, but often times, and you see this very much of people in the Bible, God puts dreams in their hearts, He puts a call on their lives, but they don’t get to see end game.

The thing about the dreams that God puts on our hearts is that their execution is much, much, much more difficult than their conception.

It’s one thing to have a dream in our heart. It’s one thing to have a sense of God’s calling on our lives.
