Are You Are you a person that just feels like you are not creative, or not as creative as others are? I hear this from people quite often. EVERYONE has creative potential in them, for the Master Creator made us to be much like Him. "Then
God said, "Let us make man in our image,
in our likeness" We have been created ourselves in the image of the Creator of the entire universe. He who created everything from the largest stars to the smallest details of the tiny ladybugs also created you and made you to be like Him. Even though we are very small in comparison to the Almighty, it stands to reason that you and I would have inherited at least some spark of His creativity. Perhaps, in some of us our creativity just lays dormant, while in others it is screaming to be used. Creativity is like a muscle and just like a muscle, the more it is used and stretched, the stronger it becomes. Many have never tried to stretch their creative muscle and find it much easier to claim that they are just not creative. There is so much joy in being creative, though! It takes stepping out into the unknown and testing the waters. It is much easier to let someone else come up with all the creative ideas. If the ideas fail, then we are not responsible. It can be intimidating to step out with a creative idea of your own and share it with others. Maybe others will think it is silly. Maybe they will, but some of the best ideas ever discovered were originally laughed at, but over time were proven to be of great value. So, how do we tap into the creative potential that we possess? STEPS TO CREATIVITY: Determine where
your creative energy needs to be focused. Find time to be in
your "Quiet Place." Write your ideas
down. Look at things
from a different perspective. Have confidence
that you were designed with creative ability. Seek
God. |
