PARTNERSHIP IN CREATIVITY

John 1:2-3 “He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him.”

I led a counselling ministry at a local church in South Africa for twelve years. I had on my team two incredible women, Di and Corinne. They were both external creative processes, like me. At the end of every leadership meeting together, I remember always commenting on how excited we were at the creative ideas that came out of that meeting.

I imagine it is exactly like that between the Godhead but on a different level of excitement. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit were all present when you and I were knit together, when we were dreamed of and when He wrote out the plans He had for us. This is another mind-blowing moment.

The ripple revelation is that we, too, can lean into that creative partnership with God. “Nothing was created except through him,” our creative ability is because of Him. We were created in His image – which is one of a creator. So, therefore, my encouragement is to invite Him into everything you do.

• Every problem needs a solution – invite Him in.
• Every weight needing to be carried – invite Him in.
• Every pressure causing stress – invite Him in.
• Every resource needing to be developed - invite Him in.

Every step of your life can be done in partnership with Him because he wrote every plan about you in his book before you were born. This is why walking with Him will always lead to the most productive outcome because He knows best how you operate.

Just breathe. You don’t have to do this alone.

Reflective Question:

1. Do you find working in a team hard, and if so, why?
2. How can you lean more into partnering with our Creator in all you do?

Pray:

Lord, thank you that I don’t have to do life alone. Thank that you are a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Thank you that you are my source and resource.
