31 Days to Finding Your Creative Voice - Day 3: We ALL Have a Creative Voice

Today I want to make sure we have one thing crystal clear.

We ALL have a creative voice!!!! Every last one of us.

Just think of the awesome vastness of the universe and the amazing intricacy of the smallest microscopic organism.

Take a moment to think of the general geographic area you live in now. Think of the variety of wildlife - birds, animals, trees, flowers. Think of the beautiful sites nearby filled with the wonder of creation.

If really fully considered it is nearly mind boggling.

Now, think of how a small this region is compared with the many in the country, the continent, the world. All around the earth are places filled with just as much variety, and yet, the variety there is totally different.

And beyond this there are planets, stars, an infinite number of created wonders in space.

And yet, the Creator, who created all of this, chose to make US in His image.

And when His Creation that He loved chose to walk a path of destruction, He came and died for US - YOU - ME - because His love for this special Creation of His.

These facts are why I believe each of us has creative voice. One of the reasons we are so special to and so loved by our Creator is because we ARE made in His image. He has given each of us a similarities to Himself, He the ultimate Creator.

Because we are made in His image each of us has that spark of creativity within us. And when we are not fanning that spark into flame we feel cold and lifeless. And the Creator who loves us, did not create us for this.

I believe He created each of us to show a facet of Himself to bring to glory to Him, and as a way of helping those around us understand a bit more about Him. As we do this we are fulfilling what we were created to do, becoming who we were created to be, and this brings a sense of joy and fulfillment that cannot be reached any other way.

Tomorrow, I will be looking a little at finding that spark of creativity smoldering within each of us.  I hope you will come back to read more.

31 Days to Finding Your Creative Voice - Day 1

A large group of bloggers is commiting this month to writing for 31 days on a specific topic. I thought I it sounded like fun, although I know it's also going to be a challenge.

The subject I have chosen for this month is 31 Days to Finding Your Creative Voice.

I firmly believe that God has given each of a voice. I also believe that the Creator, who made each of us in His own image, placed within each of a spark of creativity.

So, just to get us started today I'm going to look at a few definitions of the words creative and voice. These definitions come from

Creative*
adjective
1. having the quality or power of creating
2. resulting from originality of thought, expression, etc.; imaginative
3. originative; productive


Voice*
noun
- something likened to speech as conveying impressions to the mind: the voice of nature
- expression in spoken or written words, or by other means

*I only used the definitions listed that I felt applied to the subject at hand.

I'm looking forward to exploring these ideas further in the days ahead and to reading the posts of other 31 Dayers.
