So i had a dream the other night and it was super eye opening.
And its going to be long so either stick with me or just dont read it.
Okay so theres me and like tons of other people. I know like 3 of them but nobody else. But i can see just the fire for God in their hearts.
So anyway this guy comes over to all of us (Theres like 20 or 30) and he gathers us around for a meeting. And he has us sit on this wall and hold this big chain.
And then he gives each of us a lock. And these locks are beautiful and different from everyone elses. They are like hand painted and decorated.
Then he tells us "Imagine that these locks are your relationship with God, and the Chain is God."
Then he tells us "Now if you feel like you have a pretty good relationship with God then close your lock and lock it on the chain."
"Click, click, click." Everyone closes theirs.
So then he goes "Good, good. Now pull on that lock and see if it comes off."
Everyone pulls and nobodys comes off.
"Good, good" He says.
Then he hands each of us a key. And tells us to imagine that the key is the thing or multiple things that is keeping us from growing, or is destroying our relationship with Him.
Everyone is silent and hold their keys. Then he says
"Now put the key inside the lock and turn it."
Everyone does. And some fall to the ground some hang on the chain barely and some dont even unlock.
The man walks over to a boy whos lock didnt even unlock and says " So tell me something son, first: what was the thing your key represented? And second: why didnt your lock unlock or fall?"
And the boy goes "Well, i imagined my key as the cutting problem i used to have. And i think it didnt fall because i over came that problem with Gods help and prayed to him to help me get over it and he did. I havent cut in a long time. So maybe the key didnt unlock my lock because its not affecting my relationship with God anymore. But if this thing was month earlier im guessing my lock would be the first on the ground."
The man thanks him Then the he goes to a girl who is sobbing. Her lock came off and fell to the ground.
He says to her "So tell me something daughter, first: what was the thing your key represented? And second: why did your lock fall?"
And the girl says behind her tears "I imagined my key to be my drug problem. And im guessing it fell because its taking over my life and its keeping me away from God and church on wed and praying to Him."
The man thanks her and walks over to another girl, her lock is hanging on the chain still, its about to fall.
And says "So tell me something daughter, first: what was the thing your key represented? And second: why did your lock almost fall?"
And the girl looks stunned at her lock and says "I imagined my key was the friends i have. And i think the reason it didnt fall all the way is because im pretty strong with God but every once and a while when i decide to talk to those friends im not obeying God with my thoughts and words." He thanks her and walks in front of us.
And Says "See children, all of you have different things that are ruining your relationship with God. Either fast or slow and steady. These locks are very VERY important. Why? Because they are your relationship with the all amazing Jesus. How could that not be important? So children. Some of your locks fell, some almost fell and some didnt even move. All of you need to get to a place in your life that no matter what key it is, or how many there are, or how many times different keys are tried in your locks. Let NOTHING i repeat, Nothing unlock your lock from the Chain of God. You need get stronger and stronger in your relationship that no key in the world can take you away from God or make you weak. Understand? Good. Now go live for the Lord and bring others to Christ. I dont know all of you but your all Gods children and i love all of you."
