Creativity starts with God. The Father is creative: He designed and brought the entire earth to life with all its features and creatures, only resting after he had “created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27). He experienced joy too — for “God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good” (Gen 1:31).
⠀
The Lord designed his people to be creators: “He has filled them with skill to do every sort of work done by an engraver or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, or by a weaver — by any sort of workman or skilled designer” (Exodus 35:35).
⠀
Sometimes we may lose touch with creativity or think we are not creative enough. At the same time, each and every one of us is an amazing human being with God’s given skills and talents, and capacity to live a fulfilling life where we can express ourselves in many ways to please our Father and experience happiness.
⠀
