"Our creative nature is essential to who we are as human beings-as image bearers-and it brings us great joy to live it out with freedom and skill" (The Journey of Desire by John Eldredge).
We are image bearers of our Heavenly Father (Genesis 1:27). He is creative, artistic, and a calculated designer. Just look at the world around you. When we find what we enjoy doing that allows us to be those things as well, we start experiencing real joy.
For me, it is writing and speaking. I am writing this from Ironwood Springs Christian Ranch where I have been speaking all week at a middle school camp. This is where my creative passion and skills come together to create a meaningful experience for these campers that impacts the Kingdom of Heaven.
How do you express the creativity inside of you that your Father passed on to you? Where does your passion and skill collide and you find freedom and joy? Maybe it is something from days gone by that you need to go back and reclaim. Share yours in the comments and pass this post along to others.
