When our dreams begin to die, so do we. When we share our dreams with God, He won’t laugh and say, “Well, good luck.” As a matter of fact, God will take our dreams more seriously than we do, because He knows no compromise. He doesn’t deal in pieces of happiness and shadows of dreams. He will ask more of us than we ask of ourselves, but He will return more to us than we could ever hope or imagine ourselves.”
