pure imagination

 Thursday, October 9, 2025 (6:32 a.m.)

Holy God,

I confess to dragging this morning. Lagging. Wanting to feel more energy.

(7:42 a.m.)

♪Smoke clouds all around

Couldn’t see Your face

Darkness consumed me

Stuck in the bitterness♪

(Hold On)

I wouldn’t call it bitterness. But it’s definitely less than joy. Work in and with me I ask (Matthew 7:7a) dear Lord.

♪Come with Me and you’ll be

In a world of Pure Imagination♪

I keep getting a glimpse of a smile. Here and there. I know, trust and believe You to be good. Great. Gracious. And glorious (Psalm 145:5-8).

I confess to thinking of imagination as pretend. Make believe. Thank You for writers who expand on having a Biblical perspective concerning imagination.

And here comes a hint of excitement. Eagerness. Some joy. Another smile. Hope.

I looked up the meaning of imagination and I am thrilled to say the very least! 

“the ability of the mind to be creative or resourceful.”

And look at other words describing it… “interest, fascination, attention, passion, curiosity, preoccupation.” Thank You Father. These words often describe my mind.

(8:31 a.m.)

Forgive me Father for the times I discount [regard (a possibility, fact, or person) as being unworthy of consideration because it lacks credibility] feelings and songs for seeming to be unacceptable. Show and make me receptive to the Truth You have for me in my own imagination.

♪Take a look and you’ll see

Into your imagination… 

If you want to view paradise

Simply look around and view it

Anything you want to, do it

Want to change the world?

There’s nothing to it

There is no life I know 

To compare with pure imagination

Living there, you’ll be free

If you truly wish to be♪

(9:24 a.m.)

Lord God, thank You for this opportunity to read the comments of others who liken what Willy Wonka portrays as Christlike. Not Jesus Himself. But Truth He came to exhibit and offer on our behalf.

Father, I love, need, trust and want You. Use me exactly as You know is best. Empowering and enabling me in becoming all You have for me to be. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
