Let's Imagine


Sometimes we imagine what something will be like. We can dream of the natural beauty of a holiday destination (for example) and then when we see it for the first time we judge these first impressions with the ‘created’ image lodged in our minds. In the end, it either lives up to our dreams or it doesn't! It either tells a story of disappointment or sheer delight!

I have to admit that most of the places I have visited in my life have lived up to my expectations  and perhaps even more. In a simple way, this is what I imagine heaven to be like. We have very little idea what it will truly look like, but the images we have from Scripture, give us a glimpse of the ultimate Paradise. I am convinced that whatever God has created heaven to be like, it will not disappoint any one of us.

I definitely want to be there. How about you?

Revelation 2:7 - Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

Imagine this

"Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Very thought provoking words indeed.
What do you think of this idea?
Can you imagine what it would be like if Christ wanted to come and live in 'your' home?

1 Corinthians 3:16 - Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you?
