More Than We Can Imagine
At the end of a beautiful prayer for the church in Ephesus regarding knowing and understanding the love of God, he offers praise “to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine” (3:20).
Think about that for a moment. God can do more than we can ask or imagine. I don’t know about you, but I have a pretty good imagination, and when I start thinking about what I would like God to do, my imagination goes wild.
In my imagination, God heals all sick children, and there would be no more childhood cancer.
In my imagination, God ensures that no children anywhere in the world will go hungry, and no political leader will ever do anything to stop providing food for children on the other side of the world.
In my imagination, God will eliminate all arrogance, pride, and bigotry in all Christian communities and organizations, and the world will recognize us because we love one another.
In my imagination, life would be simple, easy, and joyful. I will never have to say goodbye to someone I love, and I would shoot par on every golf course I play.
In my imagination, God can help me understand and accept what He does that I do not like and help me realize how deeply He loves me.
