I Can Only Imagine

We live in a world that offers only a false rest and there are many that will urge you to find happiness here; but you will not ultimately find it.  Guard yourselves against thought patterns like; joy is only a diet away, a new job or transfer, a marriage or a baby.

Now, whatever it means to you, imagine a perfect world.  You want peace, envision absolute tranquility; would it be joy you are after, and then create your highest happiness.  Would your world have love, then think about a place that love has no bounds.

Think on this:  "No one has imagined what God has prepared for those that love Him".  Jesus, right now is putting together your place in His Father's house.  He wants you close by.

Whatever happiness you find in this world will soon slip away in a whirlwind of disaster when distress and troubles overwhelm you.  Ultimately being swallowed up by death and the grave.  The final event will be devastating if you have never reached out and took hold of the saving hand of Jesus.

He is only a breath away.  He will awaken you morning by morning to "open the eyes of your heart" and give you ears to listen to the heart beat of His teachings.  You will learn the truth which will live in you and be with you forever.  His commandment is to walk in love; love for Him and one another.

I wonder what it will be like when I meet Jesus face to face.  Will I jump for joy or in His presence fall on my knees and be still?  In awe of His beauty, will I be able to shout "worthy is the Lamb" as I reach out with trembling hands to take hold of Him for eternity; or simply whisper, "I love you Jesus"?

I can only imagine!

My prayer is that I may be able to sing this song when I see my Savior.

"Worthy is the Lamb"
