i can only imagine...
came across this song in my iTunes just now by chance. reminds me of that video last week. seen it so many times, but yet..each time holds a different truth..
first time in a long long time since that happened. at least not since i was in thailand 3 years ago. or in children camp years ago. but when God touches you, there is nothing you can do. when you come to the realisation that He died just to save a world of unworthy sinners, there's nothing that you can hold back..
and when you come to understand that He loves us SO MUCH more than we can ever fanthom..
one just breaks down and we see our fragility. the fragility of life. the fragility of faith. the fragility of love.
how fragile the human love is. suseptible to fluctuations. if a father is able to do so much for his handicapped son, what more for the Father up in Heaven? still i dont think anyone can comprehend God's love, or even go to the extents that God would go for us. human nature always allow us to hold back, but God doesnt hold back anything for us. willing to sacrifice Himself so willingly..when He could have called down battleons of angels..
how many times when we see our loved ones in trouble, will we rush to their aid..EVEN WITHOUT THINKING? on that jetty that day, looking down into the sea..i can only imagine. that sight of Jesus walking towards me and reaching out, calling to come down with Him. how fragile is our faith, that we cant trust in Him to sustain us. and we drown in the water.
was thinking if you were drowning in the water, would i jump in after you? how many of you out there would say that you would jump in if your loved one was drowning? how many wouldnt? so many times humans have the correct intentions, yet we falter to our minds. the devil's tools. so many times we want to do whats right? but how many times have we stumbled because our heart said otherwise?
i can only imagine.
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 all i will do..is forever worship you.
Jesus save us all. touch the heart of your children Lord. make you presence known to the world.
in the eyes of the young children. all the innocence. those eyes that radiate joy. those eyes that look at you with love. how many are we going to let fall prey to the devil?
how many are you going to let grow up and reject God?
how many are you going to lose for God's Kingdom?
are you willing to hide the true joy that comes from God?
will you embrace them in the love of God?
will you take away their false hope and give them Christ?
will you give your life to save them for Christ?
i can only imagine.
the unquenchable eyes. those eyes of fire. even on the cross, the eyes that cried. the eyes that looked down on His people. the eyes burning with love. the eyes that saw the beginning of earth. the eyes that saw cain kill abel. the eyes that saw noah through the flood. the eyes that saw the first rainbow. the eyes that saw the tower of babel. the eyes that twinkled like the stars abraham saw. the eyes that saw the separation of isaac and ishmael. the eyes that stared into jacob's as day broke. the eyes that saw joseph's coat torn. the eyes that saw moses in a basket. the eyes that saw the israelite slaves. the eyes that saw them cross the red sea. the eyes that saw the ten plagues.the eyes that saw the walls of jericho fall.the eyes that looked on love for samuel. the eyes that saw saul as king. the eyes that saw david's battle with goliath. the eyes that saw his lust for bathsheba. the eyes that saw solomon's wisdom. the eyes that saw elijah's miracles. the eyes that saw daniel's faith. the eyes that saw jonah in the whale.
the eyes that saw Jesus in a manger. the eyes that saw His Son crucified on the cross. the ears that heard His people demanding for the Saviour's death. the heart that bled for His people.
these were the eyes of God. how deep the father's love for us.
i can only imagine.
so many people have felt this emptiness within themselves. how many facades do you want to put up to decieve others? is it really necessary to show others that you are strong physically and emotionally? then i tell you that you are foolish, because we are depending on our strengths. have we allowed God to step into our lives when we try to be brave? how can God ever hope to touch us if we fortify ourselves with self-centredness?
God wants to be with us. the world. His people. the love of God that He even sent His Son to die for you. will you let God touch you? will you let Him reside in your heart? will you recieve His gift of salvation?
will you give this gift to others who are blinded by the darkness?
i can only imagine.
