“Imagination Is Everything…” February 21, 2010

 “Imagination Is Everything; It Is the Preview of Coming Attractions” – Albert Einstein

Nothing is accomplished except through the power of imagination. Every piece of art, every piece of music, every book, and every invention is the product of someone’s imagination. Even the universe is the product of a divine vision. The form of government that we cherish was the product of the creative imagination of our forefathers. It is the faculty that places human beings above all other creatures. It is the supreme gift that we were endowed with when we were created in the image and likeness of God.

Now is the time in history where we can truly use the power of our imagination to create the world we have dreamed of…a world that works for everyone. For a moment, just picture in your mind a world of peace and harmony among all people and all nations; a world free from hunger and disease; a world based on the healing power of love. It is not an impossible dream; it is what we have the power to create as we consciously set our power of imagination to work. It is a great responsibility and a great privilege to recognize our God-given power to make the dream a reality as we commit to being the ones to bring about heaven on earth.
