Crushed Dreams
An actor who finally gets a big break then finds out he has AIDS.
A salesman lands the career-making account of a lifetime then finds out shortly thereafter
the account collapsed due to the account company's bankruptcy. A disabled mother dreams
that things are going to get better, but then they don't. Dreams and lives get crushed.
When these things happen, we have to make do with what we have. We have to use what God
has given us at the time. When dreams get crushed, we have to take lemons and make
lemonade. When your world falls apart what do you do? When everything you worked for and
dreamed about comes crashing down, what do you do?
When your business fails...
When you are fired or lose your job...
When you lose your home...
When your child runs away and ends up in jail...
When your marriage fails...
Jesus knows what you are going through in these moments because He went through
crushing moments as well. As He rode into Jerusalem, Jesus knew what was going to happen.
Jesus knew His earthly ministry and His body would soon be crushed. When you go through
crushing times, turn to Him, lean upon Him, talk to Him, learn from Him. For He knows what
it is like to go through the times you are in. For in Him, the lemons get squeezed into
lemonade, and what you have gets used for Him in ways we call miraculous. Most
importantly, because Jesus came back, so can you.
