The Creator of All has not only created us but gifted us with the same desire to create.  Do you remember as a kid how you loved to make things up?  You ask a group of children to make up a story and they jump on it.  They bring in characters and ideas seemingly out of nowhere.  They make connections and reasons for why certain things happen that are sometimes beyond a rational understanding and tell the story as though it were true.  As adults we think we lose touch with that part of ourselves. Have we really lost touch with it or do we keep it hidden?  What about the stories that we create about what things mean?  What about our imaginative ideas about why other people are behaving the way they are?  They also come from our imagination.  Then we throw in some commonly held beliefs, modify our stories to meet with the agreement of others, and see it as truth and not imagination.  The real truth is we do not know why people behave the way they do or what things always mean because there are always multiple factors occurring simultaneously.  We cannot  know all the reasons, so wet fill in the blanks with our imagination. Perhaps God has some life-giving options for our ingenuity if we are willing to involve God in the process.

My prayer for us is the acknowledgement of the beautiful gift of creation given to us by God and the humility in asking God to be involved the true ingenuity possible today.

If were to believe that God has gifted you with a creative imagination in a way that brought excitement and joy into life, how might you ask God to show you the possibilities inherent in your true ingenuity to create today?  Share in the comments.
