IMAGINATION

The imagination is a most intriguing thing. I once saw it spelled
“IMAGE-NATION.” It prompted me to consider the total concept. Is there really a place where images exist? The imagination truly is a world where images and concepts are born. It is a nation where the pioneer thinkers hang out. It is in the spiritual realm and to those of us with creative gifts it is more familiar and comfortable than the real world. It’s our favorite place. We go there every chance we get. Dreams are born there. Designs, ideas and inventions hide there waiting to be discovered.
The Apostle Paul said that there are many gifts in the body of Christ.
Some teachers, some preachers… all members with particular functions. I once heard Kenneth Copeland describe very simply that while some of us are toes, hands and so forth, some of us make up the minutest parts of the body which are atoms. So all of you designers out there…you artists and pioneer thinkers, who just can’t seem to “fit-in,” consider this. There are those of us who make up the imagination of the body. Don’t think it is strange. Everybody has one!

Well, stated my sister, well stated!
The imagination–I recall one writer describing the imagination as:
“Seeing all the possibilities, seeing all that can be done, and how it can be done, marks the power of imagination. Our imagination is our own personal laboratory. Here we can recreate events, map out plans, and visualize overcoming obstacles. Imagination shows us how to turn possibility into reality.”
Once again, well stated, my sister, well stated.
Thanks again for your “Pearls of Wisdom.”
