It is a fearful thing to follow God. In Him, our dreams die…
– Abraham dreamt of having descendants as the stars of the sky, but God demanded his only son. – Isaac dreamt of an easier life with his new wife Rebekah, but she couldn’t have children either.- Jacob dreamt of a happy life with a beautiful new wife Rachel, but he got her sister instead. – Joseph dreamt (literally) of ruling over his brothers, but he was sold into slavery instead. 
God crushes our dreams almost in a cruel manner. He often takes away our best. Then, He denies in giving us what we want most! But you see what God is about. He is not about giving us what we want. He is about giving us Himself, because He is what is best for us. 
He replaces our dream with something better. Himself. 
Can you name something better than Jesus Christ? 
Hold everything loosely. Grow fearful of wanting something more than wanting Jesus.
