FREE TO IMAGINE

We get to approach life with outrageous abandon.

I didn't know this was possible or probable in my first few Christian years.

My problem with extreme limitation was that I was measuring my potential talent base rather than viewing God's.  Life had been about me.

When Jesus comes along and draws us to himself, we lead a marvelous and victorious life every moment of every day.  Whether free or imprisoned, we are advantaged to breathe the scent of freedom in both cases.  The jailhouses still fall down.

When Jesus comes along and draws us to himself, we are free to imagine the drowning waters suddenly opting to subside.  Storms and winds still hush at his voice.

When Jesus comes along and draws us to himself, even death will not shut us down nor up.  The resurrection power of right now breaks forth from every intimidation, from every uncertainty, and from every threatening fear.

Because we are free to imagine, all problems become puzzles for the believer to sense God will solve.  Every winding path of disorientation is faced with complete rest because of God's effective oversight of all imposing terrain.

Be not blind to the day facing you.  It is filled with opportunity to be stumped by the flesh only to be fully advantaged due to the Spirit.  We are.....free to imagine.
