It amazes me when I look around at the absolute creativity that is represented in every single individual in this world...how awesome is that? Isn't it kind of mind blowing to realize that that much creativity exists? And NO ONE is absolutely the same in their creativity....we all are unique. And the most amazing thing about this is...it all came from the same CREATOR. So how much more awesome is HE?
I will spend a LIFETIME getting to know the creativity and personality of my God. And I am SO looking forward to it. Every time I spend time with Jesus, I learn so much more about who He is. The more I study His Word, the more I understand His heart. And it is beautiful.
I love the fact that God made me. Just the simple fact that He "knit me together in my mother's womb"....the fact that before I was born, He had a plan for my life. He's not "winging it" with me....He knows what He created me to do and to be. It's my job to never let go of His hand and walk with Him down the path that He has laid out before me. And with all of this absolutely amazing mind blowing creativity that He has....why would I ever want to go off on my own? How boring would that be?
I also love the fact that even though God poured out His creativity in all of us and made us all very unique individuals, He still has standards and guidelines as to what He expects out of His children. He still has a mold for each one of us to fit into and it is the mold that He created us for. It's Perfect, it's beautiful, and it's ours.
I hear all the time how "there are no cookie cutter Christians", and "no one can judge anyone else because we're all different", and "I just have to be free to be me"...but I'm thinking...aren't we kinda missing the point? I think we get so caught up in making sure we're not being judged (which honestly I think only the people who are feeling guilty over something are usually the ones screaming this the loudest, people who are confident in their relationship with Christ really aren't worried..) Or caught up in not being able to do the things we want to do because we have talent or desire...but the TRUTH is...it's really not about us. It's about God and His plan for us.
If we would just stop trying to have control over everything and ask Him to mold us and make us into what He created us to be, and then be willing to be the clay in His hands, knowing that whatever this Amazing God has in store for us is far better than anything I could dream up, then wouldn't life just be that much more amazing and fulfilling?
God has a plan. For you. For me. A much BETTER plan than you or me. I think real freedom to "just be me"...actually comes when I completely surrender all my creativity...to my Creator and allow Him to use me as He chooses. That's when I am at my best in my talents because I am using those talents and creativity to honor Him. It's not about me...It's about Him. And I am far more awesome in my creativity when He's the one directing it. There is FREEDOM in walking in your potential and purpose. Because by allowing God to show you who you really are, you never have to second guess what you're doing...because you know. You are more confident in yourself because you know that you are doing exactly what God has called you to do and you don't need the approval of anyone else but Him. Everyone else's approval is just icing on the cake but it's not a necessity for you to be happy with who you are.
It means that I can love myself because I know that God loves me and is leading me and guiding me to reach my purpose. And all the other "fun things" in my life...are wonderful expressions of the creative unique loved person that I am...I am a confident, intelligent, strong woman of God....walking around in my pink monster slippers. :)
