Imagine…

Imagine… floating at sea for seven months, with the only familiarity of life, being onboard with you.

Imagine… all that you have known, is now gone. Utterly gone, buried beneath this raging sea.

Imagine… not knowing when the storm will calm, the rains will stop, or if the sun will ever shine again.

Imagine… floating, existing, waking and doing, all with uncertainty and hopelessness creeping in.

Imagine… faith, only faith keeps you continuing in the daily chores, where nothing else can be done to change this fate.

Imagine… this is the valley of death; the storm that brings you to your knees; the never ending helplessness; the uncertainty of everything.

Imagine… God, speaking to you a promise, that new life awaits.

Imagine… sending birds to search, but no sign of new life appears. How long must I wait…

Imagine… the despair… shall I give up haunting you.

Imagine… heavenly dreams of God’s promise, do I dare to hope?

Imagine… this day, a dove returns with an olive branch… AN OLIVE BRANCH!

Imagine… is this real? shock, numb… Oh God you want me to live?

Imagine… the heart that leaped, joy now flooding, and hope that Yes, God is delivering a new life.

Imagine… life after death.

Imagine…
