However, the book encourages us to trust in the Dream Giver and to remember that he has given us our dreams for a reason. As the book puts it, "Your dream is your destiny. You were born with it. You were born for it. It belongs to you. No one else can live it."Second, the book emphasizes the need for perseverance and faith in the face of adversity.

As Christians, we are also called to persevere in the face of trials and tribulations, trusting in God's faithfulness and provision. As the book states, "God is the one who put your dream in your heart, and he is also the one who will enable you to accomplish it. When you trust in him and follow his leading, you will experience his power working through you to accomplish what you never thought was possible."Overall, "The Dream Giver" is an inspiring and uplifting story that encourages readers to pursue their dreams and to trust in God's plan for their lives.
