The Relationship Between Creativity and Our Relationship to God
Creativity is a gift from our Heavenly Father, and we should feel the urge to take our creations to Him for approval and pleasure. Our drive to create and the abilities we employ come from God. This has implications for our relationship to matter, time, and space. Creativity is not limited to art, but extends to all aspects of life, even the seemingly mundane. Our creativity reflects the love and power of God into the world and enables us to reflect the praises of the world back to Him. Understanding the connection between heaven and earth, and the significance of material things, helps us fulfill our vocation as image bearers of God.
