Live creatively, friends.....Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don't be impressed with yourself. Don't compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your life. (Galations 6)
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO "LIVE CREATIVELY"?
- Using our God-given gifts, talents and abilities.....stretching ourselves.....exercising them.....not squandering or neglecting them
- Staying connected in relationship with the great Creator, the One who is creative beyond my wildest imagination and allowing His creative "juices" flow through me and out of me as expressed in my unique abilities and talents.....His creative fingerprint on my life
- Using our talents and abilities not only for selfish pleasure and enjoyment.....using them in ways which we will not always fully comprehend or imagine to enrich the lives of others, and in the enriching reflect something of God's love and purpose for those who are touched by our lives, our talents, our actions
- In our creative living out of our passions and interests.....our desire should be a willingness to be used as God's available instruments in lovingly restoring people to Him.....sharing in the burdens (and easing those burdens) of those who are oppressed.....being generous in all that we have and are.....being sensitive to the needs of those with whom we come into daily contact.....LIVING OUT MY FAITH CREATIVELY!
Thanks to the motivation received from a good friend, I am exploring my creative side more and more and loving life because of it :).
