In a nightmarish world, it's good now and then to dream of heaven.
“The toe of the star-gazer is often stubbed.”
- Russian proverb
Sadly, our experiences on earth can be nightmarish.
Idealists “in a dream world” sometimes stub their toe on “reality.”
“Two men look out same prison bars; one sees mud, the other stars” (Langbridge). |
Dreaming of a better world, at the top of the staircase is God—
Author of perfect dreams, Means to the end, Final Step to reach the goal,
Stairway to the stars, Reality behind dreams, Energy to climb steps and attain visions.
The sky is not the limit—aim for the company of the immortals!
Dare to dream grand dreams—heaven open, angels on the stairway of hope.
Trust your Father’s protection as you traverse the twists and turns of the dreamy spiral.
Daydreaming is sweet, but it is time to wake up and start climbing.
Way-dreaming is better—not just staring up the steps, stepping up the stairs.
We will celebrate heaven’s dream come true with the Star-maker at the top of the stairs.
He dreamed of a stairway that reached from earth to heaven.
Genesis 28:12 NLT
