relentless pursuit
I’m not sure who this is for
but I went to bed and to sleep only to wake up to write this…
Genesis 37:4: “…they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.”
Genesis 37:5: “…he dreamed again…”
>insert a calm sprint<
Don’t let anyone or ANYTHING…
NO disappointment
NO setback
NO heartbreak
NO misunderstanding
NO preoccupation
NO uncertainty
NO loss
NO tragedy
NO misfortune
NO confusion…
NO diagnosis
NO seeming failure
NO sorrow
NO utter catastrophe
NOTHING
stop you from dreaming.
Ok…I jumped ahead…
The biblical story of Joseph begins with a love story about his parents and how hard his father worked to marry his mother Rachel.
Rachel was barren and Joseph was her firstborn.
>insert calm sprint<
Joseph was different,
he wasn’t built like the rest of his brothers.
He was also hated by his brothers, I believe, because he was favored by their father Jacob.
Joseph was hated for being a dreamer.
Joseph had the ability to accurately predict the future through dreams and he had the ability to interpret the depictions of those dreams.
his brothers decided one day to sell him into slavery
and pretend to their father Jacob that he was dead.
despite his brothers’ hatred of him, he continued dreaming.
and I also believe that the only reason his brothers were truly upset, was because they believed his dreams.
Tell your haters to go bundle up your harvest!
The same people who hate you are going to be the ones to carry your overflow!
Jospeh’s brothers planned on killing him when they saw him coming…
He hadn’t yet arrived, but they want him dead because they knew that he was going to get “there” without them.
what’s funny is that they actually believed his dream.
they BELIEVED Joseph’s dream.
now think about your walk in life
and your dreams
and know that all of the smoke,
the attacks,
the fighting,
the hate,
the obstacles,
the indecisiveness,
the setbacks,
the short stops…
ALL of it, is meant to derail you!
BUT DON’T LET IT!
DON’T STOP pursuing!
BE RELENTLESS!
even if you’re the only one to believe it…
AND GUESS WHAT??
Your doubt believes your dreams!
AND
Your enemies believe your dreams!
I believe in you!
I believe in the power of your dreams!
Don’t stop believing!
An entire generation depends on your steady…
your relentless pursuit of YOU.
Pursue it.
BE it.
and don’t you dare quit that dream.
