MIDWEEK MESSAGE – June 10, 2020

Imagination – as young children we are filled with imagination. I once watched my granddaughter at about age 4, keep herself occupied with just a pencil and piece of paper. With two simple things, she created a world that kept her interest for quite some time.

As we grow, our imagination often takes a back seat to “reality” which is unfortunate because everything is first created in the imagination and then becomes “real”. Imagination is behind every house, car, clothing, business, etc. Think about Amazon which came from something someone imagined in his garage.

We can use our imagination for creativity, for good, for positive change, and for seeing the possible in the impossible. However, when used incorrectly, it can also create the horrors of the Nazi death camps.

What are you using your imagination for? Do you imagine always the worse to happen and then are upset when it does or do you use it to imagine the good that is available to us when we use the power of imagination to think of all the possibilities for good that are within us?

The choice is ours to make. We can create a life of heaven or hell – it all depends on what we imagine.
