The Trapped Heart

     In a dream I had I was with some friends walking around a town square not unlike the one in my home town. There were small groups of people gathered around the square. We were listening to what they had to say. Each group had their own opinion how life was and how we should live it.
     There were groups talking against the different kinds of races. There were groups from different occult religions talking about their worship of the spirits. Each group had a darkness about it. They were about the spreading of fear and hate. They were about attaining a control over other people lives. My friends wanted to fit in rather than to stand out from the crowd so they listened and became interested in what those groups had to say. I for my part were repulsed by those groups I could by no means join them.
     My friends continued to talk with them so I left them and went over to stand by some nearby trees so to wait for them when they were done. As usual, being a introverted type of guy I tried to stay in the background. However these groups were intolerant of anyone being separate from them. Even though I stood away at a distance they still took it as a offense against them. They were not satisfied with the ones that they had, they wanted me as well.
     I tried to remain silent and wait quietly until everything was over. However those groups started to jeer at me. They were saying out loud that I thought I was better than them. They were forcing me to make a stand. The goodness from within me could not be held back by my fear. My heart felt trapped by fear but it was opening up and my mouth was speaking boldly about the words of God. I directed my words to the ones who I felted whose heart was also just like mine. The words that I spoke was about God's love and salvation. The words of God were diminishing their fear and opening up their hearts. By me standing up for what I believed in, a new group started to form on that square. It was a group for God. A group who openly spoke about his love and the words of Jesus Christ.
     There upon that square were many groups of hate and darkness however there was another group, another choice. A choice to stand with God and his righteousness. It was a group that I was very much happy to belong to so to able to speak freely about God's love without fear. In this dream I learned that one man, one vessel of God can pour out God's light into the world and thereby freeing many from the bondage of a trapped heart.

Luke 12:11-12 "And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say."
