Imagine

Am I the only one who wonders why my mind is often blank? Sometimes when I try to think through what’s going on in my crazy life – manage what’s being tossed around in my head – it slowly dawns on me that there’s nothing too pressing going on. I guess this is a good thing.
As a result of last week’s teaching at church, God’s been challenging me with Ephesians 3:20,21 lately. Why am I amazed that He is able to do more than I ask or imagine? When I look at where I am today, versus where I thought I’d be, there is no doubt in my mind that He can do more than I can imagine. On top of that, I’ve seen His great faithfulness to me in the past … not only does He address the things I ask of Him, but He goes above and beyond that with the gifts that He gives.

Maybe that’s why there’s no intense worry about where I’m headed or wondering about the details of what’s to come. I’m more freaked about the things He’s challenging me on – on a personal and spiritual level. I think this has more to do with what He’s asking me to relinquish and the dreams He’s asking me to pursue. They’re so much bigger than anything I would’ve imagined for myself, and I tend to look at them with a bit of wonder … that He would choose me to accomplish these things … what is He thinking?

The wild part is that I’m sure that I still don’t have the big picture. All I see are the fragments still … the pieces of the puzzle that will fit together somehow. What’s crazy is that I’m not the only one holding puzzle pieces. There are people I haven’t met yet that are holding pieces with my picture on it as well.

How great is our God?
