You’re Still Allowed To Dream Beautiful Things For Your Life
It’s easy to forget that desire is holy, that dreaming isn’t just a human impulse—it’s a divine invitation. Over time, you may have grown cautious with your hope. You have learned how to be realistic, how to manage expectations, how to protect yourself from the ache of disappointment. And while that caution may have served you for a season, God is calling you into something softer now. Something more open.
You are still allowed to want a life that ignites your spirit. You are still allowed to imagine joy, to chase beauty, to pray for the kind of future that feels like a reflection of your heart. That does not mean that every door will open or that every wish will be fulfilled in the way you pictured it, but it does mean that your dreams matter. It does mean that they are not a burden to God, that they are not too much.
You do not have to let pain define the limits of your possibility. You do not have to silence your passion just because things didn’t unfold in the way you had hoped they would. God is not punishing you for putting your soul into the world. He is the one who planted those seeds in your heart, and he has the capacity to nurture what is growing within it—even if it looks different than you expected, even if it is taking more time.
Your faith has made you strong. Now, let it also make you a protector of your own vision. Let it give you the courage to believe that life can still be full of awe, full of beauty. You are still allowed to dream—not because your life is empty or void of meaning without those things, but because it is full of God, and he hasn’t run out of goodness for you yet.
Prayer
God, I’ve grown afraid to hope. Afraid to imagine a life that feels like freedom. Afraid to believe that my passions matter to you. I want to return to that place in me that still believes. Remind me that dreaming doesn’t mean I’m ungrateful for what you have already given me. It means I’m alive. Help me to trust that what’s meant for me will not miss me—and that you are already preparing the path for every good and beautiful thing you placed in my heart so long ago.
Amen.
