2 Corinthians 3:3…

My grandson says he never dreams. If you have ever slept with him, you definitely know he does. However, he is unaware of them, and doesn’t remember anything he does or says while asleep. On very rare occasions, he will say he had a bad dream. I, however, have vivid dreams with details, images, sounds, and emotions. I move throughout my night from one dream to another. Literally, the name of my website derives from a recurrent dream.

I read through the New and Old Testament about those who had dreams, prophesied about dreams, and interpreted dreams. Jeremiah even warns against those who spread falsehoods using dreams. Jeremiah 23:32, “Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the Lord, and who tell them and lead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when I did not send them or charge them. So they do not profit this people at all, declares the Lord.”

I say all this to preface a dream I had a few nights ago. I had a revelation about the dream last night while telling some friends about it. In the dream, I met a man and his wife who were traveling. They related to me that he had cancer and would not survive it. I immediately asked him about being saved. He must have indicated that he was not because I said to him, “Before you leave, let me tell you about my Jesus.” He said, “How about now.” He and his wife came in, sat down, along with friends and I remember closing my eyes. I don't know exactly why I closed my eyes, but I know the tears and emotions were raw. I remember telling him my story of everything Jesus did for me from dying on the cross to resurrection and life, changing me. I so vividly remember smiling like never before with joy radiating. Then the dream was rapid. I opened my eyes in the dream to see more people coming in, wanting to listen, wanting to talk about Jesus. They sat everywhere with the story repeating. Everyone was listening, and others telling about Jesus and talking about Him. Talking about what He had done and is doing in their lives. So many voices and smiles, joy and happiness.

When I woke, one of the things that stood out to me was that as I told Him about Jesus, I couldn’t remember the scripture chapter and verse, but I could remember the words. I was upset with myself that I couldn’t quote chapter/verse. Now if you know me, I will do this quite often. I will say, I can’t remember the chapter, but I know this and that about scripture.

You see, I was so caught up on that part of the dream that I missed the part about talking to people about Jesus. I overlooked the telling others what He has done and will do for them and me. I completely missed the part about so many people listening, talking, and sharing their love for Christ. As I sit and look back, Oh, what a scene! People gathered sharing Jesus, telling those who don’t know Him, and glowing in His love. 2 Corinthians 3:3, "And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts."
