How to Rebuild Shattered Dreams

How to Rebuild Shattered Dreams

Text: Proverbs 29:18   “Where there is no vision the people perish; but he that kept the law, happy is he.”
       What is the meaning of Vision? To me it means dreams of what can be and will be. Conrad Hilton who owned Hilton Hotels in his book  “ Be My Guest” he shared that  in chapter 1 “You’ve Got To Dream” he had a dreams to build hotels, and he did.
       Sometimes as life continues our dreams can be shattered by health, by being fired, by divorce, by losing a love one, and a host of other things. So what do we do? How can we overcome devastating happenings in our lives? How can we rebuild shattered dreams?
        To rebuild shattered dreams begins rebuilding our attitude by developing a positive faith. In the Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
      What is faith? First what is it not? It is not emotional, nor intellectual. Faith is transferring ones trust to someone or something. We need to develop a positive attitude because our attitude determines what we see and what we feel.
     We can begin a positive attitude by developing a positive faith and this begins with trusting in Jesus as our Savior and Lord!
