“I Can't Give Up On the Dream”
I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Philippians 4:13 lets me know that no matter what happens, I can’t give up on the dream that God put inside of me. I can do all things through Christ Jesus and trust that He will bring that dream to life.

Regina, thanks for sharing, and thanks for reminding me of Philippians 4:13, which is one of my favorite verses and, I think, one of the most profound and important verses in Scripture.
Thanks for that gift, Regina … and may your dream come to life!

Dear Regina:
Your Biblical quotation more often than not reverberates when I start my day. Only then do I have a free mind and heart to “stand firm in the Lord,” (Philippians 4:1), and proceed my day with “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, put it into practice….” And the God of peace is with me, indeed. (Philippians 4:8)
Like you, I “trust that He will bring that dream to life.” For “…all things are possible with God” (Matthew 19:26; Mark 10:27).
Thank you.
May GOD ALL MIGHTY Bless you infinitely and inestimably;
GODSPEED, always and forevermore!
Mary Sun.

Thank you Regina for sharing this word of encouragement. It is a great reminder to us that we don’t have to “do” this life alone. God is with us and the dreams He has placed within us are His first and ours second. So we can work in concert with Him, knowing that “He who has begun a work in you is faithful and just to complete it…” Praise the LORD that we don’t have to let go of the dream just because it hasn’t happened yet!

Thank you so very much. Sometimes it is hard to stay focused. Thanks for help me to see things the way they should be.
