Genesis 1:27 (ESV)
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of
God he created him;
male and female
he created them.
Have you ever said, “I’m just not the creative type.” Well,
I am here to say that a statement like that is impossible. You are a human
being, right? Let’s start with that assumption and go from there. If you are a
human being, part of mankind, you were created in God’s image.
Just soak that in for a second. YOU were created in the
image of God. What a powerful and awesome thing that the Maker used Himself as
the blueprint for us.
So, we were created in His image and He created us. He
created everything. He is the Creator. I think it takes creativity to be a
creator, don’t you think? Do you see where I’m heading with this?
Yes! You were created in the creator’s image, so you can’t
get around the fact that you, yes YOU, are creative.
It doesn’t matter if you’re type A, type B, a righty or
lefty, introvert or extrovert. YOU are creative.
Now, creativity can be displayed in different ways. It
doesn’t necessarily mean you’re artistic, fashionable, musical, or gifted in
drawing or design. This realization will not turn your stick figures into fine
art.
But creative talents can be shown in writing, science,
technology, athletics, and even mathematics. There are infinite ways creativity
can be used every day from problem-solving to people management, encouragement
to empathy.
Are you ready to embrace your creative side?
Take a few minutes to ponder your creativity. In what ways
are you creative?
Dear Lord, thank You for creating us to be creative and for
the specific creative talents you have blessed us with. We ask You to show us
how we can use our creative talents for Your glory. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
