God creates. We are gifted with tremendous capacity to create because we are made in the likeness and image of our Creator. We began as an idea in the mind of God. An idea to proliferate the energy and vibration of love in as many ways and places as possible and as more than possible. When I reflect on the unfathomable graciousness of God’s love and attention for me I get only a taste of what it means to hold an idea with preciousness into creation. I cannot create to the extent that God does but I can allow God’s ideas to move through me. Each time I choose to focus on love and forgiveness I further the creation of God. It also creates more of those in my life. It is not about avoiding the opposite kinds of ideas but recognizing that they are a call to love in a way I had not yet conceived of. Why would God create all the various feelings and experiences if they were not all valid? My role in relationship with God is to bring them to God and ask, “What would you have me do with this idea?” When I stay to long in a negative space or find myself hurting myself or someone else with a negative idea, I grab God’s hand and ask, “How do you see this? Where is the love in this?” It always comes back to the choice to bring my ideas to God and ask what role in plays in my life as a tenderly loved and adored child of my Creator.
My prayer for us is the willingness to check out our ideas with the Great Idea Maker today.
If God designed us to create with our ideas, would you be willing to check with God to see if your idea is in alignment with God’s loving view of you today? Share in the comments.
