dreams that i dream for you

i just woke up from a 12 hour 'coma'. been very unwell recently and sleep was seriously robbed. developed a fever of sorts yesterday for no apparent reason...and i just slept and slept and now here i am. had the longest dream last night. it just din seem to end and it was so real. i woke up recollecting the minor details. it seemed like everything i ever wanted manifested...in a dream.

the reality is dull in comparison but the future holds much more. i've come a long way and i know the lord is reconstructing new dreams that will come to past even as i speak/write. sometimes, i'm tempted to mourn the loss of these dreams and get trapped in nostalgia/the past etc...but honestly, the present is already so much better. i'd never go back and make the same mistakes i did, hurt the people that i did, and most of all, hurt myself. Jesus was there throughout going through all the humps and bumps with me but well, if today He can say that all those things don't matter and truly they'll work out for MY good...den so be it.i won't contest His word.

so for all those who identify with this apparent loss of the grand and mighty dreams that you once had but lost...heres a song i greatly adore for you guys. i believe HE wrote this song.

you taste the tears
you're lost in sorrow
you see your yesterdays
i see tomorrow

you see the darkness
i see a spark
you know your failures
i know your heart

the dreams i dream for you
are deeper than the ones you're clinging to
more precious than the finest things you knew
and truer than the treasures you pursue
let the old dreams die
like stars that fade from view
then take the cup i offer
and drink deeply of
the dreams i dream for you

you see your shame
but i see the glory
you're read one page
i know the story

i hold a vision
that you'll become
as you grow into the truth
as you learn to walk in love

let the old dreams die
like stars that fade from view
then take the cup i offer
and drink deeply of
the dreams i dream for you

avalon-dreams i dream for you. from a maze of grace.
