]A man without a dream is barely a man.
Who are you? What the question really means is “What is your dream?”
So you’ve come from a tough background! Find a dream. Don’t spend your days bitter and cursing those who hurt you. The only damage that will do is to your own soul. The past can’t be changed, but the future can be established.
Forgive, forget and move forward. If you can’t do this you’re a dead man. You’ve cut yourself off from the stream of life. You can’t move forward with the entrapment of bitterness, but guess what. It’s only you that is trapped!
The present day is the key to life, and what you do with it is the key to the future. Jesus, with His marvellous habit of speaking eternal facts, said that if we do not forgive we cannot enter Heaven! Tough cookies! Truth! Jesus Himself is the key to Life with a capital “L”, but that includes life with a little “l”.
God made us creative. He made us to dream. He gave that to us because He is that way Himself. He dreamed us into being. What can you dream into being?
All my life I’ve had a dream. Mostly it remained hidden, especially from me, but God knew my dream. After all, he put it in me! Walking close to Him has re-awoken my dream. I’ve been thinking of little else for the past five years. I’ve been dreaming night and day, and spending days and weeks on my computer and in other places, learning, learning the things that will bring my dream into fruition. My dream is very much related to my favourite childhood games, so if you are short of a dream, go look back to the childhood past-times, and there, I suspect, you will find your dream. Children are so close to the Father!
A sensitive parent will see the dream developing in the child from a very young age, and nurture it. If you are a parent, one of the most important things to do is to discover and nurture the dream in your child. Failure to do this is a travesty of justice, for the least a child can expect is this! Poverty, lack of education, nothing can stop a child with a dream – or a man.

How wonderful that you can see your daughters' dreams taking shape. This may not be the final form of their dreams because there is more maturing to go through yet, but they are dreaming and planning towards accomplishment. That's fantastic. And they have a mother who nurtures their dream. Even more so. I really believe that the nurturing of a dream is one of the best defences against drugs and the things that can destroy our children. It's not the only one, but it is a strong one. What about their mother's dream? How would you delineate that? One of my dreams was to be the best mother possible. What a fantastic dream that is. I suspect you share that with me. May you be fruitful in that.
