As I sit and paint, I can not help but be overcome with how thankful I am to serve the Creator.
I am thankful He made us creative people. My hands have been at work all day and my body is tired. It is sore and my mind is worn from sculpting, painting, etc. Yet I have peace as I let the color hit the paper. I am amazed to know that our God spoke this world into being. And then He rested.
May we not forget to rest. I have forgotten lately and know He seeks to carry my burdens and take my stresses. We all are creative. I truly believe that. It may not be with art supplies, or even instruments. We have creative thoughts, ideas of helping others, new ideas for business projects, even quick ideas of how to better someone's day. We create, we were designed in His image!
We are his beautiul creations. May we rest and know that He is the Creator.
" O Lord, how many are Your works!
In wisdom You have made them all;
the earth is full of Your possessions."
Psalm 104:24

Thank you for reminding me how much God loves us.
ReplyDeleteI think I get so caught up in my frustrations and stress that I forget to just sit and think of how beautiful God is and when I really think of all He's created, and all the knowledge we have here on Earth, and the fact God holds so much more knowledge than us or anything created...I have to be in complete awe of Him.
I forget how much He delights in us, and uses our creativity to give us rest.
I feel so relaxed when I'm water coloring or making something...it's amazing. We have so much potential to create than we sometimes think.
I love the realization you gave me that not only were we created in His image, but that includes creativity. I haven't thought of it in that sense.
Thank you for sharing. :)
Love and miss you!
