Message in a Bottle!
I am a wonderful
dreamer with a great imagination. I have
imagined myself being on a desert island with everything that I need to survive
and without fear. The island is smog free and the water is pure. My
mode of transport is leaping from tree to tree barefoot and I eat only fruits
and vegetables. O.k. go ahead and
laugh, but this is my dream!
My imagination has
taken me deep into the rainforest where I sat still for hours in silence. I am surrounded by walls of green plants and the
presence of God’s goodness is all around me.
I allow the large drops of rain to fall on me and I breathe in the
freshness of the air. This actually came true when I vacationed in
Puerto Rico. It was an amazing experience that I will never
forget. It was one of the few times that
I didn’t care about my hair or make up. So where does your imagination take you? Your imagination can be a gift and used in so
many positive ways. You can let your
imagination help to create your work of service.
Imagine putting a
message in a bottle. What would the
message be and where would you send it?
For me, my message would be 2 words, unconditional
love. I would want this message
in a bottle to travel to each seaport.
The bottle would be opened/closed over and over again until it traveled
the world.
Unconditional
love would bring no
judgments, no arrogance, no hunger, no war, no hate, no jealousy, no envy, no cheating,
just one LOVE! Impossible dream? Maybe, maybe
not. In Philippians 4:13 the bible states that all things are possible with God.
Imagine a whole world with God and unconditional LOVE! I have not reached perfection in this area
but I wake up each morning with a new start.
Each new day allows me time to try and get it right. My challenge to each of you is to imagine
your own message in a bottle that would help change the world. What would your message be?
