"Imagination does not breed insanity. Exactly what does breed insanity is reason." --G.K. Chesterton
I could write a whole book about this one little quote, but instead I'll say just this--reason and rationality can easily stifle our natural (dare I say childlike?) wonder and awe at what God has done. I do not suggest that we completely abandon reason, but when we live our lives by reason alone, our imaginations cease to comprehend the awesomeness of God. When the awesomeness of God is not foremost in our minds, we go insane, striving after things that continually leave us empty.
Let us embrace imagination. Creativity. Passion. Our God is a God of such things. We should rejoice in our freedom to creatively and passionately glorify God with our minds...and our imagination.
