Imagine: Grandmother

Episode 1 (4 min.)

IMAGINE

I want to tell you a story. So close your eyes for a moment. And take a deep breath.
Imagine that your favorite person is your grandmother. She makes you feel like you’re the only soul in the room. She adores you and love you.

The smell of fresh cinnamon rolls and peach pie trigger beautiful memories in your mind. You can picture grandma’s walk, and you can hear her laugh fill the room. You can feel the biggest hug life has to offer in her arms. She never gets tired of hearing your stories. It’s like you are her most favorite grandchild of all. She makes you feel so loved whenever you’re with her.

She sees you. She gets you. She knows your significance and worth; and it requires zero performance. You breathe a sigh of relief…because she doesn’t seem to care about your mistakes or how you lost your temper. She just looks right past all of it and sees the real you. The true you; the one unhindered by shame, trauma, or life’s disappointments. She sees who Love has called and created you to be; and she always echos Love’s voice.

She asks you about your dreams and aspirations and digs to find out what makes you tick. And she always give you her time, undivided attention, and warm smile. In fact, it’s as if she has a forever-smile shining right at you. She is so proud of you, and so proud to belong to you.

Pink wallpaper reminds you of grandma. Whenever you think of her, your heart slows down and you take a deeper breath. She exudes tranquility and joy, and it fills your spirit.
She transfers peace to you through her centered presence.

The memories, the smells, the sights — they’re overtaking you.
How do you feel?

Right now in this moment, your body relaxes. Every cell in your body is responding to unconditional love…Because this person that loves you so much and so well…They are a mere shadow of the love God has for you. Multiply this feeling. Let love multiply within you. Because our God is just like your favorite grandma, only a thousand times better.

Imagine.

Let yourself feel that deep love, that deep longing, that deep gratitude, and that deep peace. And then imagine…how God is infinitely better; beyond all you could think or dream.

That’s how much God loves you.
Just imagine.
