God-like imagining

We as humans imagine possibilities that don't exist yet.  It's the basis of all creation - the starting point to build anything worthwhile.  Before all that, the imagination pictures it (the creation, the achievement, the building, the improvement).

Christianity gives a plausible explanation for this ubiquitous human trait:  the One who created us included in our nature something of His own nature - in Latin  the term is "imago dei," the image of God.  He imagined and He then created,  as recorded in Genesis.

Sometimes the imagination is suppressed, with bad results.  We were created to imagine.  When we're not allowed to imagine and to create, grief follows.  

The supernatural, personal God is real and designed you to imagine and create.  What kind of future are you imagining today?
