It's close to 2:30 in the morning and I'm wide awake!
How can this be? I otta be asleep after the long day I've had.
Ever felt like your creativity is just all used up or...there isn't any there in the first place???
This thought came back to me about what a dear, dear friend shared with me a very long time ago.
She was giving Art Lessons to a class of students and nobody...and she meant nobody was creating anything.
She told me that she simply said to the classroom full of students...GOD is the creator and He created. We are to be like Him. He has made us to create. So let's create.
After she said these words, the students started to create artwork. It was like somebody turned a light switch on.
If you have had trouble being creative or think you're not creative, I have news for ya! It's there... you just need to relax about it and CREATE. Sometimes I think we just make this too difficult and need to give ourselves permission to be creative.
My Dad has artistic talent and use to draw. As a young boy, he excused himself from trying out for High School Choir. In his later years...every once in awhile he'd fix a wood toy. I remember one time him saying that there were so many people already fixing wood items.
He stopped fixing wood items.
If God didn't want us to be creative with the talent He gave us, then I don't think He would have given talent to use.
I used this excuse many, many times...I'm just not good enough to do that. I have had to be realistic on many accounts and yet there are many areas that I need to relax and just go ahead and create. I'm not trying to win a Nobel Peace Prize...I just need to relax, Thank God the interest is there and take a leap of Faith.
Ever been there?
Dear God, You are the one that gives gifts for us to use. You are the one that gives us the power to get wealth. So today...right now, I ask you to help me to be the person You want me to be. I'm asking You to release me from my excuses and fears. It's in the name of Jesus I pray. AMEN
AND Dear God,
Thank you!
