Dream Chasin'

Sometimes things don't turn out the way we expect them to.
It's not what we had imagined, it's not what we wished for.
It hurts us because we had put so much hope and time and effort into it, yet our dream seems to fall apart. Like sand it sifts through our hands, falling before our very eyes, beyond our control.

But it's okay.
We shouldn't give up.
The dream is still a beautiful one. Pursuing the dream is where the beauty is at. Something so hard to obtain is something worth running after.
The things of this world aren't meant to be perfect.
But we needn't worry.

Because
In the end, that will be perfect. We can be sure of that. There'll be no disappointment there.
In the end, everything will be beautiful. That's one dream that we definitely will obtain.

But
it doesn't mean we should stop going after this other dream. Because it brings us hope, it teaches us and shapes us. He uses it to bring us closer to Him. And so although this dream of heaven on earth will remain only in the dream, drawing closer to Him through it is real. And that's really all that matters here.
So let's not give up, let's not be down.
Let's go after the rainbow.
It's gonna be a rough ride, but if it's with Him, it's all good.
