Seeing The Big Picture Of Your Purpose

DAY 2 OF 3

Every single DREAM that any of us may have is absolutely outside of our Comfort Zone. Your Dream is always BEYOND your Comfort Zone. When you only focus on the day-to-day realities of life, you will lack the courage to break free from your comfort zone in order to live out your purpose. 

The really large Dreams that you and I have are always a long distance beyond the boundaries of our Comfort Zones. 

Dreams always lie in the Land of Unfamiliar.

They are found in the anxiety-producing Great Unknown. 

We’ve never been there before.

We’ve never done anything like this before.

We’re unable to know what will happen.

We’re unable to guarantee that we will succeed there.

We must rely on faith there. 

But, remember, God desires faith to grow within each of us. That is why He places our Dreams in a place that involves faith to live out (Hebrews 11:6).

So the battle begins with faith. Even before one single step or action has been taken to make the Dream come into reality. This is because the initial battle is private, personal, hidden, and unknown by anyone else. It involves personal faith.

In fact, I’ve heard this from people who are stuck at the starting blocks so many times I cannot remember all the people, “I’ve never told anyone my private dream!”  

Do you know why they say that to me? Because they have never fully embraced their dream themselves. They’ve locked it away in that dark room with their Comfort Zone Boundary Ropes. Since they rarely visit that room, they aren’t about to take anyone else to that room either.

You wrestle first and foremost with your own faith. Once you decide to place your faith in God's guidance and direction, He will reveal to you the Big Picture and place Vision within your heart. Will you take a moment to ask Him to increase your faith? (Luke 17:5).
