Live Creatively

Most of us think that living creatively is all about what we can do for ourselves. We think creative ways, do creative things, and get notice for how creative we are. However, Paul reminded us what living creatively is all about:

Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day's out. Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ's law. If you think you are too good for that, you are badly deceived.

Galatians 6:1-3

Forgiveness is the key to living a creative life. Why would that be? Well as I have given it much thought and it is really hard to live a creative life if we are holding onto anger and resentment. What we are holding onto could have happened to us today, yesterday, or years ago. If we hold onto it our spiritual, emotional, and physical energy is spent on holding onto this resentment. When this happens the creative life that we can find, cannot be found. We all have only so much energy to give out, and if we are going to use it on anger creativity is stopped. We all have to do this, no one is too good for this. Watch how creative your life has become once you "complete" or fulfill Christ law. Why will you find a creative life when you do forgive? It is because this is how we truly live in connection to God - by giving our life away. This spurs on our creativity on and this is how we love what we do and do what we love. Reach outside of yourself today and find creativity.
