I can only imagine what it will be like, when I walk by Your side...I can only imagine, what my eyes will see, when Your Face is before me! I can only imagine. I can only imagine.
Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel? Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still? Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall? Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?I can only imagine! I can only imagine!
I can only imagine, when that day comes, when I find myself standing in the Son! I can only imagine, when all I will do, is forever, forever worship You! I can only imagine! I can only imagine!

My question is "really, can we only imagine what it will be like, or can we know what it is like?" I think that we can know what it is like to see God's face, to know how our heart feels, to stand in awe of God, to fall to our knees and worship, to sing to God, and to have our heart still in silence before God. All this can happen for you and for me right here, right now on this earth! Jesus said many times that the kingdom of God is here:
"The kingdom of God doesn't come by counting the days on the calendar. Nor when someone says, 'Look here!' or, 'There it is!' And why? Because God's kingdom is already among you."
Luke 17:20
My desire is that we will all stop looking for the kingdom to come and realize that the kingdom is here and live it! We do not have to imagine. We can be still and know God right now. We can dance in front of Jesus right now. We can feel the peace of God as we give our lives away to others. We can sing to God and fall to our knees because we realize the care God has for us today. We can feel the awe of God when we are taken care of moment after moment! If we truly live the way of Christ, have the mind of Christ, and take captive our thoughts to make them obedient to the way of Christ - the kingdome of God becomes real and is here now!
God's wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes. You don't find it lying around on the surface. It's not the latest message, but more like the oldest—what God determined as the way to bring out his best in us, long before we ever arrived on the scene. The experts of our day haven't a clue about what this eternal plan is. If they had, they wouldn't have killed the Master of the God-designed life on a cross. That's why we have this Scripture text: No one's ever seen or heard anything like this, Never so much as imagined anything quite like it— What God has arranged for those who love him. But you've seen and heard it because God by his Spirit has brought it all out into the open before you.
1 Corinthians 2:6-10
God's spirit lives in you. God has brought the kingdom to you. The kingdom of God is spiritual and real in your heart. The kingdom of God is available to all who can recognize it. You can live in the kingdom right now by living the way of Jesus. Peace can be here now, love can be here now, joy can be here now, awe can be here now, and salvation can be here now. You do not have to "only imagine." You can know! Begin today to live the way of Jesus in every moment, in every interaction, and in every thought and see if you do not experience everything that the song talks about that you can only imagine.
Namaste'
