Imagine

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us" - Ephesians 3:20

Imagine. What are your hopes and dreams. As children our parents tell us that we can be anything and for the most part we grow up wishing that we'll be a firefighter, policeman, teacher or princess. Dreams. I remember those. It was a time before reality set in. College loans, rent, bills, a to-do list of a mile long. Day after day the stresses pour on and my dreams seem to slip away. What happened to my imagination? What happened to believing in the impossible. What happened to believing in the One who is able.

As I reflected on this verse I felt as if God had hit me by a two-by-four. How much am I believing in myself and how much am I truly believing that God is the Lord of all. He IS able to all that we could possibly imagine and so much more. All we have to do is dream, trust Him with our lives and He will bless us in ways we could never see. If i truly believed that God was able to do more than I could imagine how would my perspective of my bills (even as they pile up on the counter) change? Would I treat how I spent my money differently? Where would my hope lie?

He is able to do more in and through us.
