“God can do anything you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request, in your wildest dreams!  He does it not by pushing us around but by working with us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.” Ephesians 3:20 (MSG)

Have you ever asked someone to do something for you, something that really mattered, and they didn’t? Maybe they forgot, got too busy, didn’t care? Whatever the reason, it hurts. You ache a little, then disappointed you let it go.  Or perhaps wished for someone special to do something special, maybe a desire or a dream tucked away in your heart? You didn’t say anything really,  just kind of hoped they would know.  They didn’t. You hurt a little more, then once again, put it away.  

Oh, but here is the greatest news of all, this God of ours, the One Who knows us so well, including those dreams and desires, says loud and clear, “I hear you”!!  “I hear the words of spoken request and the silent whispers of all that is yet unsaid. I hear the songs that make your heart sing, and the sound of yearning within. I hear it all!” He assures you, as only love can do, that He is at work in your midst and He can do anything—yes, even that!  

Not only will it come to pass in the way you ask, but in far greater measure—in an infinitely more than your imagination could ever possibly imagine—kind of way. Why?  Because you matter, so does your heart, and all those treasured dreams that are tucked up in it.  Yes beloved, they all matter to Him, but what matters most of all is you! You are His, and all of your hopes, dreams, longings and desires, are important to Him too!

Let your praises rise to your Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ His Son, for through the power of the Precious Holy Spirit, blessings beyond your wildest dreams will come!
