The Divine Refining: How God Reshapes Our Dreams Without Destroying Them
Manage episode 482725960 series 3626038
We explore the complex journey of reconciling our long-held dreams with our evolving core values, using my personal Florida dream as a lens to understand divine refinement of our goals.
• When two beautiful dreams pull in different directions
• When goals don't align with your core values, your soul will resist - that's not failure, it's feedback
• Our brains often protect us from the unknown through procrastination and delay
• Discerning between red flags and just unfamiliar terrain requires alignment, grit, and consistency
• Finding ways to reshape dreams instead of abandoning them completely
• Taking your vision and laying it before God with open hands rather than demands
• Using journaling to clarify thoughts and reveal what's truly in your heart
• Refining dreams is about aligning them with truth, not shrinking them
Take 20 minutes this week to sit quietly with God and ask Him to help you with your vision. Journal your dream and evaluate whether it aligns with your values, season, purpose, and peace.
