STUCK ON YOU

   Are you living the life you want to live for the rest of your life?
   Chances are, you are trying to live the dream you have imagined your life to be.
   If this is your dream, you will dream no more.
   If this is your dream, you have closed the door to an endless list of possibilities of the life you could live, an endless list of things you could do, and an endless list to the person you could become that is greater than you are today.
   In five years, you will still be dreaming the same dream you are dreaming today.
   In five years, you will still be believing the same things you believe today.
   In five years, you will still be doing the same things you are doing today.
   If this is your dream, all you are doing is watching the sun go up and watching the sun go down.
   If this is your dream, all you are doing is waiting for things to happen because you will never make things happen.
   If this is your dream, then you are stuck on you.  You are a prisoner in your own mind, shackled to a dream that leads to nowhere but to yesterday.  You are thereby stuck in yesterday's news, yesterday's blues, and yesterday's views.  The things that thrill you today will be the same things that thrilled you yesterday. 
   If this is your dream, nothing has changed since yesterday:  and nothing never will!
   Tomorrow morning, you will awake to begin a new day.  But tomorrow will not be a new day for you because you lived it yesterday.
   But what about faith, you ask.
   What about it?
   Faith is for the future, not for yesterday. 
   To have faith in God for the future, you must come out of your imagination, for it is there where you are stuck on you and still dreaming the endless dream of yesterday.
      "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."  (Hebrews 11: 1)
