Don't Abandon Your Dream
Manage episode 498986618 series 3324280
Dreams can die in the desert. That's the powerful lesson from Kermit the Frog's journey in the original 1979 Muppet Movie—and it might just be the message you need to hear today.
Remember when Kermit's Studebaker broke down in the middle of nowhere? His friends were counting on him, his dream seemed impossible, and quitting felt like the only sensible option. That moment of crisis—when Kermit's conscience appeared to remind him of his purpose—mirrors our spiritual journeys with striking clarity. We all face desert moments when our God-given dreams feel too difficult to pursue.
What makes these desert moments so significant is the profound truth that there are people on the other side of your obedience who need what only you can provide. Your dream was never just about you.
Today, consider what dream you might be abandoning in your desert. What purpose has God placed within you that feels too difficult to pursue? Take courage from Kermit's story and remember—just beyond your moment of crisis, new resources and companions may be waiting to help you complete the journey. Don't give up on doing good. Your harvest of blessing—and someone else's—depends on it.
