Every one of us has an ability to create something, it’s best not to compare yourself with others, as each one of us has different gifts. Some create great people, some great vegetable farms, some healthy livestock, others art, music, roleplaying, acting, preachers, educators, advocates…. the list is endless. Defining creation: the action or process of bringing something into order or existence: the creation of a government, investing in or creating a new rank, a design, a book, an invention, formation of something, a world, a universe, a symphony, or work of art.
Galatians 6:4-5 reads: “Each of you must examine your own actions. Then you can be proud of your own accomplishments without comparing yourself to others. Assume your own responsibility.
” Romans 12:2 reads: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-His good, pleasing, and perfect will. “
When we compare ourselves to the world’s standards and ideals, we can easily become disillusioned and discontent. God has deposited within each human being the great ability to create. I attribute every creative thing that I have ever done in my life to have been allowed, inspired and empowered by God. He plants things within us that may be of a surprise to you, as it may be the farthest thing from your imagination that you ever thought to do. One day, through life’s circumstances you wake up and say, “Hey- I think I know what I am supposed to do!!”
I was at an awards ceremony this week (Congrats Sammy and Maddy!). There are so many creative young ones, about to graduate, their whole lives ahead of them. Lean in to hear what God has planted within you to do, He will give you the power to do whatever that is-the power and the inspiration to create!
If you do not know who Jesus is, He is the Savior of the world! He came as a man to this earth, God made flesh, to take upon Himself the sin of the world, He took it upon himself to die for our sins, He then rose again, gloriously, just as those who believe in Him will do one day! A chance to live again in Him. Ask Him to take away all your burdens today, and make Him Lord of your life! Only Jesus can make all things new for you! Watch and see what He wants to create through you!!
