Dreams of new life have invaded my sleep. I have been dreaming about newborn babies, one premature, others full term, but all of them have had life threatening problems. In the dreams, I am unable to care for or touch the children, find myself frustrated and angry, and hopelessness dogs my path. I wake from these dreams disturbed, but God has been faithful to reveal why I’m having them.
As long as 30 years ago, I had a vision of a marriage that looks like Jesus and His bride. In studying Song of Solomon, I received an understanding that marriage is to reveal both sides of the relationship between the Lord and the believer. I let go of the vision and my hope to be part of such a marriage after my husband divorced me, but in the last few years, God has resurrected that vision. In believing He will keep His promise to me made decades ago, I have entertained the possibility that I might have someone who is the love of my life in addition to Jesus. But my dreams are telling me that I subconsciously fear that the new life I believe God has planned could die before it actually lives.
I turned to the Holy Spirit and asked for a scripture to ground my faith in His word and His promise once again. As always, He was faithful to provide:
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day. Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC) Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation
Once again, my times are in His hands, His plan is best, and waiting with the right attitude is my goal.
A recent Facebook meme encourages me that our visions and dreams from God are sure and certain. “When it’s not in God’s time, you can’t force it. When it is God’s time, you can’t stop it.” ThatDarnDave.
His faithfulness is sure; may my dreams reflect His steadfast love.
