Be my everything




Dream catchers are a very interesting tradition of the Native Americans. Its purpose was to protect sleeping people from negative dreams through the web like aspect and letting positive dreams slip through the hole to the sleeping person below. The negative dreams would actually get cause up in the web and vanish when the first rays of sun struck them.
Coming from someone who has quite an active dream life this is actually quite a comforting thing. As human beings we have a longing to be protected in both our waking and sleeping, we hate leaving ourselves open to being vulnerable. Our God protects us because he cares. Just like the native men who slaved over intricately creating these dream catchers for their children to give them peace..... God grants his children peace.
The forces of evil still exist...but they have no power. Jesus defeated death! He has won the battle. His perfect love casts out fear. If we are afraid, it is from a fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. Our sins are no longer held against us, evil has no place for the family of God. Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand -Isaiah.


 No weapon forged against you will prevail,
and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.


Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.


God is not just our dream catcher though.... he is so much more than that.
He is our dream maker.
