Dreamers
“The dreamers are the saviours of the world.”
— James Allen
Reflection
James Allen calls the dreamers “the saviours of the world” because every advancement, invention, ministry, and movement began with someone who saw something better than the present moment. Dreamers refuse to let reality define its own limits. They hold an inner picture of what could be—and that picture becomes a guiding force.
A true dreamer is not an escapist. They do not hide from life; they elevate it. They endure criticism, misunderstanding, and seasons of obscurity because they are loyal to the vision God placed within them. Their dream gives courage to others who have grown weary of a world that says “stay small.”
Dreams are not luxuries. They are responsibilities. When God plants a vision in your heart, He is inviting you to partner with Him in shaping the future. You may not know how to begin. You may feel unqualified. None of that disqualifies you. What matters is your willingness to believe that the dream is not accidental.
Hold your vision with reverence. Feed it with prayer, effort, and attention. Dreamers lift humanity because they refuse to settle for what is—they insist on moving toward what could be.
And that’s worth thinking about.
— Vic Johnson
