Dreams and aspirations.

by royowen

Though dreams and aspirations
won't fill a table bare,
They're food for royal banquets,
supplying ether's fare.

Without them men would languish,
our future would be bleak.
God says that we would perish-- if,
no vision we would seek.

For in my mind I've pondered,
how does my person fit?
With all my gifts and leanings,
where does my purpose sit?

So when our eyes are opened
we see our path is clear.
Don't tremble at the doorway
and say, "I'll wait a year."

Can we live as conquerors
by troubles, never swayed?
Will tribulation's journey
slow dreams till they're delayed?

So when we find our purpose
and know what price to pay.
Remember through life's problems
that God will find a way.

I think that most of us are daunted by future's highway. What is our purpose? does God have a plan? Even if you don't believe in God, people still like to think there is a plan for their lives, otherwise the really gifted ones can stay, and the rest of us, well....get lost. But I don't believe that, every man, woman and child has a Godly purpose, and is divinely treasured by God, Christ died for ALL, quite often the talented think they don't need God, that only the plebs need Him...that's not true either. If this world is accidental, chance, (big bang theory) then there really isn't much point to anything. But like I said, we all have infinite value, and ALL are unique and loved.
Psalm 139:13-16 "For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; that I know very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes beheld my unformed substance, in your book were written all the days that were formed for me." NIV
Jeremiah 29:11 "For surely I know all the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not to harm you, to give you a future with hope." NIV
Proverbs 29:18a "Where there is no vision, the people perish." KJV.
