Your abandoned dreams aren't dead; they're waiting. Jesus called the unqualified and transformed them through following. Start imperfect today; the making happens in the movement.
You know that drawer in your kitchen.
The one where old receipts collect, where broken chargers tangle with takeout menus.
Somewhere in there, pushed to the back, is something you meant to finish.
A business plan.
A song.
A travel itinerary.
It sits there.
Gathering dust while you answer emails and pay bills.
And tell yourself "someday."
Maybe you're afraid it might actually work.
Afraid not about failure but success.
Because if this thing you've been carrying actually comes to life, everything changes.
You can't hide anymore.
You can't play small.
But Jesus didn't call the qualified.
He called fishermen.
Tax collectors.
People with rough hands and checkered pasts.
"Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men," he said (Matthew 4:19).
Not "You're ready."
Not "You've got this figured out."
Just "Follow me."
You don't become who you're meant to be and then start.
You start and become.
Every seed looks dead before it breaks ground.
Every runner feels their legs burning before they find their stride.
The process shapes you more than the product ever will.
Those setbacks you've faced are not proof that you should quit.
They're proof you're building something real.
Things worth having resist easy completion.
So pull that dream back out of the drawer.
Not because you've finally figured it all out.
Not because the path is suddenly clear.
Because staying stuck hurts more than moving forward scared.
When you dare to pursue your dreams, you inspire others to do the same.
You will make an impact beyond what you can imagine.
Your journey is your testimony.
The world is waiting to hear it.
You were made for greatness. Go and claim it.
