Imagine

   Imagine a world in which there is no pain, no hunger, no disease or death.  In that world every day is a day of joy and happiness with no concerns about one’s well-being.  There are no worries about what to eat, all we could possibly want is right there before us.  Each day is perfect in every way.

   That is the world that our first parents had.  God provided for all their needs and communed with them as a family.  As a loving Father, he walked with them, shared with them and loved them totally.  Through their pride they lost that world.

   That world no longer exists for us but it can exist again in God’s Kingdom.  He is still there, still caring for us, still loving us.  Imagine a love so strong that He would give us His only Son to restore us to His family.  Jesus was not honored or believed when He came.  Instead He was betrayed, beaten and hung on a cross.  This is the love that God has for us; a love that gives all and will last throughout eternity.  Though we can never do anything to deserve it, He continues to love us.

   Imagine a world where we walk with God.  A world where we can speak with Jesus and ask Him the questions we’ve always wanted answered.  A place where there is no pain, no disease, no death.  God wants to give us that world.  He created us for that world.  Though we lost it, He wants to restore it to us if we will accept it.  He’s waiting for our decision; hoping that we choose to love Him and join Him in that world.

   “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him.” (1 Cor 2: 9)
