Several years ago, I kept having these “fish” dreams. Different dreams would offer “different fish” but the fish were few-in-number and their coloring and “water” was not execptional. (It and still is true, I was “fishing” for people-of-faith!)
Then I had this dream…. I dreamed that one by one, thin golden yellow “Angel” or “Sun” fish swam into my office. At first there were just one or two, then more and more came. Then the yellosunfish just started pouring in the door (of my office) and I could not even close the door there were so many of them! My “office” was packed full of fish!
I keep this dream-as-courage for my heart when I become discouraged. It (the dream) is a living image of God’s faithfulness and plenty in times of scarcity. The challenge is to remember-the-dream and the fact that “fishing” was my first and foremost reason for searching to heal the purpose of my life.
