Imagination - A Great Gift

This is by a friend in Christ from Florida, Janice Cook. Janice and her husband are a blessing to know and are truly Godly people. Enjoy this writing by Janice.
Our imagination is a great gift from God. We can let the enemy defeat us with it or let God inspire us with it. We can imagine all kinds of what if's that will fill us with fear. Or we can say Lord what if I stepped out of my comfort zone and just did it. Dare to believe I can do, what you said I could do. Greater works than you. You said I could do the impossible. You said I could move mountains. You said I could pray for the sick and they shall recover. You said I could lead people to Christ and witness the new birth by being a witness for you.
Lord what if ? I woke up each morn, And say Hello! Jesus, I love You and I am available to do Your will today.
What if Lord? I started each day in prayer Making myself available to You.
What if ? I put You and Your Word first in my lifeWhat if ? Before I speak, I say a quiet prayerLord, what would you have me say?
What could I do to encourage this person today? What could I say or do to help them see, You love them? Open my eyes to see what You see in that person Standing beside or in front of me.
What if? When I heard someone say, I am sick, I say, May I pray for you, God still heals today !And pray right there in Wal Mart or Church. What if I had more fear of missing You and Your will Than looking smart and being accepted and loved by all. Am I willing to be a fool for You, in the eyes of man.
What if? You opened a door and I did not walk through it Because I had not prepared my heart before You Lord. Help me see, Not to be blind to opportunities You place before me each day.
How can I be a light to the world When I have failed to spend time with You. Have I become cold or luke warm Lord, You are The Flame. Help me burn with Your desires. Help me to show forth your Glory with every breath and move I make.
Help me be bold in the marketplace. Help me be on a mission not just with AC But on a mission for You. Their are those out there Waiting to hear about AC. I can't see them but they are there, Hidden in the marketplace like Pearls. Funny a Pearl starts out As a small grain of sand, An irritation to the oyster, The Pearl maker.
The Pearls God wants me to gather may be A thorn in my flesh and just simply get Under my flesh and rub me the wrong way. Maybe they look like GIANTS in my eyes And make me feel like a grasshopper.
What if ? Lord, I had no fear and no doubt. Just faith to do your will. Brave and strong in power of Your might. A Giant slayer, a water walker. Well, faith I have, a mustard seed is enough. You gave me enough to get saved and believe and with that same faith, I can do all things Through Christ who strengthens me for You are the author and the finisher of my faith. But it is up to me to cast down and drive out All the doubt and fear. Yes, to the enemy, I have that power in Jesus Name. I don't have to be double minded and defeated.
Old mindsets go. I have the mind of Christ. God's Word and the right computer to run it. My brain or mind was made to think Godly thoughts. The Word of God, The language of Love, The language of Jesus, The language of Faith, The language of the Bible. Everyone knows that if you get the virus out, the computer works like it was designed to work by the manufacture, the creator. But I own the computer and it is up to me to de-bug it.
God in Us The Hope of Glory, Janice Cook
