In
the process of conception of dreams, the point of fertilization is most vital;
the rooting together of the basic elements that add flavor to our life
aspirations. However, birth in itself isn’t defined solely by fertilization. A
host of other factors contribute to the making of our dreams and realization of
our visions- and as the process becomes more and more elongated, focus
diminishes in a progressive fashion, almost perfectly plotted against time.
Even
when all we have is relatively insignificant- especially in our own eyes and
when it seems to be totally irrelevant to our obvious needs; let us place our
trust in the Lord to lead our steps and to guide our paths.
We
could ask, why exactly did the widow (1 Kings4) have a jar of oil? It seemed
conspicuously irrelevant to her and not until Elisha pointed her to it did she
know the inherent potential of that jar of oil.
In
life, it becomes very easy after a while to lose respect for our special capabilities,
for our talents, our hopes and dreams. We begin to then tread primrose paths
which in themselves lead nowhere. After a while, we are all but lost in the fog
of time and the only thing that can bring us out of that misty gathering is a
re-awakening…a re-pointer to whom we are and what we have.
Some
of us might be short-sighted, some long-sighted, some astigmatic; but at those
moments when it seems really really easy to throw away the dreams of yesterday
in the thrash can of today; let us remember: Yesterday’s pot of oil might have
been sent to deliver us from the debts of today.
Respect
your dreams; they define you!
