Revenge: it's a dream of flames fueled by scorched remains that are lit to a torch and brought back upon the one who burned you.
Many of the people God used in Scripture looked like losers before they looked like winners. After the disciples fished all night and caught nothing, Jesus told them, __Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men_ (Luke 5:10 NKJV). They did, and they ended up: a) building a church that__ still thriving two thousand years later; b) writing history__ greatest books; c) having our sons named after them. Does that mean you can just dream a dream and God will fulfil it? No. Paul says, __You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honour God_ (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NIV).
