The Dream is for Real!


As we reflect on the birth, life and legacy of Dr. King, we are reminded of his dream which was universal for all men. There are many things we can ask ourselves to honor his memory. First and foremost, are we realizing our own dreams? God has planted in each of us dreams, visions, and aspirations, but we limit ourselves and God by saying we cannot reach our dreams due to lack of finances, or education. Secondly, what role are we playing, today, to love our neighbor as ourselves? Our neighbor is not only the person living next door or the one who looks like us, but our fellow man. Do we make assumptions about individuals because they look, talk, eat, or pray differently than us? If so, Dr. King's dream is in vain. It starts with us.  Finally, are we taking that walk of faith despite seeing the whole staircase? This requires us to know that God is in control and has our best interest at heart! The dream is for all mankind. Realize your dream by keeping them alive inside of you! I am encouraged today as I encourage you. Be blessed! -rfwb
