IMAGINATION OF SUBLIMINAL BEAUTY

On March 24^th, 2015 I posted on my Facebook about my Father’s world….

In my Father's pristine world, there is sufficient room for the fecundity of imagination that surpasses even that of the Tolkien or a Narnian world. I choose to paint the world he has prepared for me in such subliminal beauty as against the backdrop of the broken world as I know now. That's the new heaven and new earth I look forward too eagerly.

Just pause for a moment and imagine what science tells us about our universe – incredibly enormous and far beyond our comprehension. The created cosmos of the Almighty Creator is so huge, so vast, and beautiful, just imagine the new heaven and the new earth that he has prepared for those who love him and are called his own. Our Father’s world is pristine – original, immaculate, unspoiled and perfect! Therefore there is sufficient room for us to paint whatever we want to about this world – a world so pristine, so full of hope, love and joy – with such fecundity (super-abundance) of imagination!

Every time we hear of news of this troubled world we live in just remember that this world is not our home – we have a better place, a better mansion prepared for us. A songwriter of yesteryear wrote this: “Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land.” No, that’s someone who has an identity crisis, a false humility, and a beaten-down self-esteem. His grace is sufficient for us. Christ died for us while we were still in our sins. To think in such manner is to disrespect the Father and to dishonor the Son who gave his life to secure for us eternal life in his Father’s home in glory! He has prepared for us a mansion – a place paved with gold and a land where there is no longer pain and suffering.

So, against the backdrop of a broken world, against the backdrop of an evil world full of pain, suffering, injustices, and rebellion we look up and we let our imagination takes us far away into the beautiful world that our Father in heaven is preparing for us. And we can let out a cry of joy and victory – thank you, Lord, come quickly, Lord, come quickly!
