A short YouTube monologue (titled "Imagine") in which the speaker reflects on Jesus' crucifixion and the magnitude of God’s love. The speaker encourages listeners to use imagination and constant visual reminders (crosses, necklaces, tattoos) of that sacrifice to stay motivated to "do the right things" and live according to that gift.
No matter the method, that constant reminder of Jesus crucifixion, the imagining of how great God's love is can be very powerful, at least for me. It keeps me wanting and motivated. Do the right things when I know that great sacrifice that was paid, that great gift that was given to me. And if you believe that and you believe that in your heart, man, it's so much easier to make the right choice when the time comes, by God's grace. Still, if you remember that death and you remember that sacrifice, you remember that gift, and you remember the massive amount of love that it took for that gift to be given to you, it's very, very hard to live a life in which you're basically defying the sanctity of that gift. So imagine. Imagine the love and keep that on your mind constantly, in some way, even visually. Cross on the wall. You know, some people will do a cross tattoo. I didn't do that, but I've got cross necklaces. But these constant reminders of how great that love was and how precious you are can really keep you on the right and the straight and the narrow path. So I hope that imagination exercise will be helpful for you.
