Introduction

Genesis 1:26-27. Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth,and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in his own image,in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

 noun 1.the state or quality of being creative.

According to the Bible, the Living Word of God, He created humans in the image of the Trinity. "In Our Image, in our likeness." So if we are modeled after him and he had the ability to create us, then it can be said that every human has the ability to create. And if you look around the world today, whether you realize it or not, every human is fully utilizing this ability. Most recognizable is the fact that humans create other humans. But humans created buildings, inventions, recipes for food, clothes, etc. Humans also create the atmosphere around them. We can create happiness, prosperity, harmony, life or we create strife, famine, discord, and death. No matter how you look at it, humans are constantly creating something.


So now that we have that thrown out there for your human mind to acknowledge, and you read it...you did read all that right? Hopefully if you have gotten this far, you did. :) Well now that you read that, you are responsible for that knowledge! Congratulations. This means you can never make the following statement- "I'm not a creative person." Surprise! That is a false statement. You may not be as creative as so-and-so, but you are in fact creative in some fashion. The fun part is discovering that facet of creativity and then creating with a purpose instead of just creating without thought. Hence the name of the blog.


  So look at your life. Look at all the things you have done or want to do. Ask yourself daily, "What am I creating today?" Now that you have this knowledge you might surprise yourself with how creative you are! I, myself, LOVE to create. I find it fascinating and it is definitely a passion of mine if you haven't noticed. :) It is also a passion of mine that everyone recognize their creative side.
