The Pain Of Letting Go Of Hopes And Drams, Part 2 Of 2
Giving up hopes and dreams is painful. Giving up hopes and dreams
results in our grieving over the loss of what we gave up. When we live
and breathe our vision for the future, our life is fueled by our hope.
Conversely, the loss of our vision is caused by our loss of hope. When
we lose hope then our loss of hope can often be like suffering the death
of a loved one. When we give up our hope we need to begin searching for
a new hope that can fuel our life. If we have a vision illuminated by
the Light, we are able to change our vision without a great deal of
grief or sense of loss. When the Light illuminates our lives, we live to
do the will of God rather than living to pursue our own hopes, dreams,
and visions. When the Light shines in us we are always willing to walk
on the path the Light shows us rather than our own selfish path shrouded
in darkness.
When a young man who wants to play basketball in the NBA finally must
confront the fact he can not play in the NBA, he can find other visions
and other pathways to walk. It may be hard work to find these visions
and paths but with the Light in him, he will not be caught up in the
grief of his loss. When any of us confront the fact our hope is false or
misplaced, we can look to the Light to give us new direction and new
hope that will fuel us.
