In A Mirror Dimly

thoughts on life, love, faith, family . . .

and God, whom to know is life indeed.

Imagine for a moment that you just won the lottery. Let's make this an even better scenario: let's say the winning ticket was the very first one you'd ever purchased. And let's say the jackpot was 180 million bucks . . . or whatever amount was enough to last you the rest of your days, even after the IRS took their (grossly unfair) cut.

Imagine how you would feel.

Imagine the feeling of paying off your bills - mortgage, car, school loans, credit cards, what have you.

Imagine knowing the good you could do with all that money: charities, people in need, helping out family members and friends.

Imagine how it would feel to never have to worry about finances again.

Imagine knowing you'd never again wonder how you're going to put food on the table, or make it till next payday, or pay that enormous heating bill.

Imagine being able to buy anything your heart desired.

Imagine how that would feel.

Now imagine that obeying God made you feel that same way.

"I rejoice in following your Word
as one rejoices in great riches."
Psalm 119:14

Imagine what that would be like.
