We are created beings by our creator, God, therefore, we have creativity coursing through our very veins. Growing into the person God has made us to be is to grow into the mold of goodness and beauty that perpetuates and pursues even greater goodness and beauty. All of this that exudes from our work and life will then have no other option other than to point to the him who is the giver of our visions and dreams. Take some time to meditate on these verses to engage with who you are: wonderfully, fearfully, creatively made.
