A dream fulfilled: Proverbs 13:12

Proverbs 13:12

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick but a dream (longing) fulfilled is a tree of life."

When the Holy Spirit speaks by a dream and gives a vision of the beautiful things God wants to do/ intends to do in various lives all around us, that sets up a whole new set of possibilities in the spiritual space. There is a thrilling potential for sharing in the very dream of God for good to his children ... Then seeing that dream fulfilled, as you work alongside the parakletos ("called alongside"), is energising and stimulating. It is exciting. God's will is being worked out! Who wouldn't delight to see that? And it is a whole "tree" of life: the work now being done in co-operation with God's Spirit, fulfilling though it be, is just the lower part of a tree. The out-workings, in the fulness of time, are untold and widespread like the spreading branches of a maturing tree, each branch dripping life brought from the central source and outworking the original dream. Untold blessings!
