Visions And Goals And Dreams

The other point I’ve been trying to get across this weekend is enjoy where you’re at on the way to where you’re going. It’s great to be a visionary but some people who are visionaries – some people who are highly motivated and have a lot of goals in their life, they almost let their visions and goals and dreams become a source of torment to them because they don’t know how to enjoy where they’re at while they’re getting to the place they’re going. I’m sure you all understand when you look off in the distance and see the horizon, you know what that is and the closer you get to it, the more the vision of it changes and becomes a reality.

God told me one time: that horizon over there represents the goal that you have right now for your life but when you get there… The closer you get, the horizon is always moving, so I’m doing so many things right now, I’m living in the dreams I had 28 years ago but now I have new dreams and new visions. I’ll be honest with you, I did waste a lot of my life being miserable, not enjoying where I was at and that’s one of the reasons why I wrote the book that’s on my table, “enjoying where you’re at on the way to where you’re going”, because I don’t think a lot of people know how to do that.

Even as far as you yourself and the changes that you’re looking for God to make in you, in your personality… How many of you are believing God for change in yourself? You want a change?  Okay. How many of you are believing for some changes in some of your loved ones and family members? Oh boy, you got real excited! (laughing) you guys are something. Oh, yeah, mm-hmm! (laughing) but it’s foolish not to enjoy yourself right now while God is changing you and it’s foolish not to enjoy the other people God has placed in your life while God is changing them.
