Life is full of shattered dreams. Unannounced, circumstances can circumvent our dreams, disappointments crown our optimism, and the cold remains of broken promises chill the sunniest disposition. But however painful, shattered dreams have the power to change our lives—for good. How? Accept its reality. Believe that God can restore beauty from the broken pieces. Cling to His precious promises (Romans 8:28, 35-39; Job 23:10). We should not despair when our sweetest dreams morph into the worst nightmares. Regardless of how things appear to us, our shattered dreams give opportunity for God to fulfill His own dreams for our lives. Trust Him! Shattered dreams do not signal the end of life.—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim
