We cheer kids on. We cheer adults on. We cheer when someone is going after a goal, laying hold of a dream, business or rehabilitation. We cheer not because of what it is, primarily, but because of what it means. We cheer for the same reason we lament when that same 'dream' becomes a nightmare, when you no longer hold and pursue it, but it holds and pursues you. We now find ourselves pleading with you to let it go, to not let it define you, to not see yourself bound up in it...
If you sign up to the dream and put your soul in it, you sign up to the nightmare also. Jesus said, 'My words are spirit and they are life.' (John 6:63). And the truest you, the one we cheer and rush to rescue, is spirit. 'I have carved your name in the palm of my hand.' (Isaiah 49:16)
