Imagine... Imagine...
No, I will not start singing the Beatles' song... But just imagine having your dreams fulfilled.
I was observing that the dreams that were in my heart were there for a simple reason. God put them in my heart. And God Himself fulfilled them.
This book concerns aspects of dreams that seem to be impossible. It is impressive how the author puts his ideas forward by using examples such as Disney and Alexander the Great. The latter, which is of extreme importance to site, tells the story of a philosopher highly skilled but with little money. One day he goes to the treasurer to ask for a lending of $50,000. The answer, which is quite predictable for us, was a firm "no".
However,when the treasurer consults Alexander regarding this amount, he concedes the request. You may be thinking "why?" And, with a simple statement, the ruler asserts that the money should be granted due to the fact that the philosopher had understood Alexander's generosity and wealth.
Isn't it A-M-A-Z-I-N-G?
Yeah, I agree with you. Yet, the awesomeness of the story doesn't stop there. Damazio, as a great knowledgeable author, compares Alexander to God. Let me put it into details: if Alexander, who is a common sinful man, may grant that quantity of money, imagine our Daddy-God, who is the King of the universe and so loved us to the point of giving His only begotten son, Jesus, to die for us. God will grant you more than you think of.
The author even adds by saying: "ask large", because God is great. When I woke up last week, I was thinking that all things that God created for us are huge. The Earth, the oceans, the stars, the other planets, the galaxies... God is so great, but so great that it is difficult for us to imagine.
In addition to God being great, He still can inhabit inside us by His Holy Spirit, received by the ones who accept Jesus as His son.
I stop here. I'm dreaming a lot these days and running out of words :)
