I Can Only Imagine .
Revelation 4:8-10 NIV

Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come."

Revelation 7:11-12 NASB

Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, the twenty- four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever. And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, "Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen."

Do you notice a pattern or theme in these passages? I think everyone spends time wondering what heaven will be like. Of course, we cannot even begin to imagine it! Following is a song that is one of my all-time favorite songs. If you haven't heard it, you should try to find it and listen to it. It is absolutely beautiful and I often start to cry when I hear it because of the emotion with which it's sung. I think these passages and the lyrics to the song will suffice to put you in a positive frame of mind today!

"I Can Only Imagine"
I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk By your side
I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When your face Is before me
I can only imagine

[Chorus:] Surrounded by Your glory,
what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus
or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence
or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah,
will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing in the Son
I can only imagine
When all I will do Is forever
Forever worship You I can only imagine
I can only imagine
When all I will do Is forever,
forever worship you

My prayer today is that you imagine heaven. And that you have hope in this life because of what awaits us in the next.

Mary
