Live
creatively, friends. Each of you must take responsibility
for doing the creative best you can with your own
life. (Galatians 6:1, 5 — The Message)
Creativity is a
mental process involving the generation of new ideas
or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind
between existing ideas or concepts. An alternative
conception of creativity is that it is simply the act
of making something new, to cause to exist; bring into
being, to give rise to; produce, to produce through
artistic or imaginative effort. There you have the
definitions of creativity.
So how do we live “creatively”? I like the idea of making something
new, to bring into being, to give rise to. We are told that when we accept what
Jesus has done for us and yield our hearts and wills to His we become new people.
As we get closer to Him, as we continually yield our hearts and wills to His,
our hearts are transformed into His. We begin to have a new and different outlook
on life. We start to think and see things differently. We see new ways of doing
things. We start to see ways of making something new out of something old, to
bring into being, to cause to exist. Therein lies the answer to my question of
how we live “creatively”. It is by getting and keeping our hearts
and wills connected and yielded to God’s on a daily basis. The ability
to live creatively, as God intends it, is entirely dependant on this.
So let’s do as Paul says, let’s live creatively; let’s get
and keep our hearts and wills connected and yielded to God’s daily.
Live intentionally, purposely, free and with passion,
Pete Reinbold
