    DREAM BIGGER...DON'T LIMIT GOD! Limit: to restrict, to confine, to keep within a designated area, to fence in, hold back, to bind Example: Ever seen someone using a kid leash? (the kid has limited freedom…but who’s really in control?) Limits: spending limit, speed limit, earning limit, ...read more
