NIV A nyone who knows anything about children knows that they have vivid imaginations. My little girl, Kylie, who turns four next week, is no exception. Kylie's imagination knows no bounds. In any given day, she pretends she's a princess, a baby, a singer, a mommy, a ballerina, and so on. My wife, Amy, is convinced that Kylie's destined for a career on Broadway.
Imagination is a powerful thing.
Without it, our greatest novels would never have been written. Imagination is also closely related to vision, which is the great asset of political, social, and economic reformers who have made our world a better place. For Christians, I think we should also see that imagination can lead to hope. As we imagine what the world can be as hearts are turned to God, we can work toward that goal. All in all, imagination is a great gift of God.
