Is my imagination God starved? Have I forgotten the wonderful works of GOD all around me? It's easy to lose focus on the spectacular creation of GOD, when I focus so much on what I want to "do" for GOD. Oftentimes there's too much thinking about what I would do if only I had enough money, a better marriage, obedient children and more loyal friends, as opposed to what I can do with what I have. The things that GOD wants to do through me are only limited by my imagination. GOD is the one Who works in me to "will and to do" His perfect plan. I can be a great husband, I can be a great father, I can be a great neighbor, I can be a great friend and brother, and I can have limitless strength (Isaiah 40:27-31).
Climbing the mountain of Christ-centered manhood requires one solid step at a time. The beauty of GOD's creation all around me stimulates the imagination and inspires me to live in the hope of the climb. I know that nothing is impossible for "His Life" in me! Constantly thinking about and turning my focus to what I would do if certain things were to happen, causes me to miss out on what I should do with what's happening now! GOD is doing something incredible right now and I don't want to miss it!
The world needs a R.E.A.L. Man! My family needs a R.E.A.L. Man! My church needs a R.E.A.L. Man! My neighborhood needs a R.E.A.L. Man! GOD is looking for a R.E.A.L. Man! "For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the whole earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His..." (2 Chronicles 16:9) "And I searched for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one." (Ezekiel 22:30)
I can imagine myself a R.E.A.L. Man (Righteous-Encouraging-Accountable-Loving).
