CREATE:

: to bring into existence.

: to produce or bring about by a course of action or behavior.

: to produce through imaginative skill.

: to make or bring into existence something new.

Genesis 1:1 (KJV)
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Genesis 1:27 (KJV) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Genesis 5:1 (KJV)
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

We are to create!  We should be creators!

In the beginning God created! But it was only man and woman who were created in His Image and Likeness!

Which means if we are made in God’s likeness and He was a creator then we should be creators.  I have heard it said that “We are most like God when we are creating”!

Some are Blessed to create music or art or books or plays or movies!  Some are Blessed to create businesses or items that will make our lives easier such as washers, dryers, dishwashers, automobiles, or electricity, etc.

Some are Blessed to created health in others through ministering as Doctors, or Nurses or medical researchers.  Some are Blessed to create future creators in our schools as teachers and administrators.

We can and should create a loving caring atmosphere in our homes and churches and neighborhoods.  We can create encouragement to others by a smile, word, phone call or card!

We can create a safe place for those who know us to feel free to pour out their cares and worries.

I have heard people speak about themselves declaring that they are not at all creative!

But you were created in the image of the Master Creator, and therefore you have a creative nature!

Maybe you do not think about cooking, sewing as creating but you are bringing something into existence! That is creating!

When your smile lifts someone’s day you are creating a good feeling in them. When you plant flowers that spread the beauty of the earth, you are creating!  When you prepare a celebration for someone you are creating!

When you have a bad attitude and snap at people you are creating an atmosphere of ugly.  When you are selfish and determined to have you own way you are creating animosity and walls.

We may not all have our name in lights, but we are all creators.  We must ask the creator God to show us the specific things we can create, but we must all create the goodness and mercy all around us! 

We must create an atmosphere of worship and praise to God Almighty wherever we are, in our homes, churches, business places, neighborhoods!

Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Colossians 3:10 (KJV)
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

May we create good and walk in all the creation God has placed within!

Father, thank you that we are created in you image!  Thank you for the creativity you have placed within each of your creations.  Stir up the special abilities and talents you have deep in each of us and as we pursue those, let us remember that there are so many ways we are creating in each day. Give us the Peace that creates a peaceful surrounding, give us Joy the spreads to create hope in the discouraged, and give us words, to create an atmosphere of acceptance!  In Jesus name I pray! Amen!

You are a creator!   Love, MeMaw
