Imagine ...

Today's blog is more of me inviting you in to read a page of my journal. You are welcome to read my thoughts and prayers for today for I feel Father telling me that that there is someone who needs to read this today. Don't forget to send me a note or to comment. I would love to pray for and with you as you walk this journey. Bless you today as you read...

With school being officially over I have had some extra time to think. The word "IMAGINE" keeps coming to my mind, and of course with that comes all kinds of thoughts. Some good and some not so good. Satan of course would love for us all to continually "IMAGINE" and dwell on past mistakes and regets; but for me, this week is about being thankful and thinking about how much I have to be thankful.

I have recently been listening to the song "Glorious Day" by Casting Crowns; oh what a neat song of celebration that is. With Easter coming, I have also stopped to "imagine" what life would be like if Jesus had not died? What if He didnt take me on himself and put to death the old me? Or even take that even further, imagine if Jesus had never rose from the dead?

I am so thankful for the cross, and I cannot wait to see my Savior face to face. I am so thankful that I do not do life alone; I am so thankful that I have this everlasting life source who lives in and through me.

Just imagine what it will be like to actually touch him? To see him face to face .. (Just like that song says, will I fall at his feet? or will I invite Him to dance with me? Will I sing, or will I have no words at all?)

IMAGINE what it would be like if all Christians everywhere came to know Jesus as their true life and identity.. just imagine.

Thank you Father that for those of us who are in you, are saved and can rest in knowing that we are one with you. Thank you that you loved us so much that you sent your son to die, so that we may live. Thank you that you are not finished with us yet and that you are constantly doing a good work in us. Thank you that we can experience you and that we don't have to imagine life without you or wait to experience you til we die. Thank you that you are here now.

I thank you also that the blood of your Son dealt with the issue of sin. That there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ. Thank you that we can offer that same forgiveness to those who have hurt us.

Thank you that I dont have to imagine life without you; that I have you living in me. Show me what it means to know you more. Amen

In Him,

Jacqueline
