The Many Forms of Creativity

An entry for the creative soul who wonders if their gift matters.

We are all creative beings.

Not just some of us. Not only those with paintbrushes, poetry, or platforms.
All of us—formed in the image of the Original Creator—are equipped with the ability to bring something into existence that wasn’t there before.

Creativity isn’t reserved for the artists.
It moves through the hands of parents who nurture life.
Through writers who shape words into stories that awaken something deep within us.
Through teachers who craft lessons that foster understanding, compassion, and growth.
Through doctors who design systems of treatment to restore what’s been broken.
Through those who build homes, meals, gardens, businesses, and hope.

Creativity lives in hospitality, in service, in solutions, and in silence.
It shows up in the way we organize, encourage, dream, decorate, and disciple.
It is in the way we reflect God through acts of restoration, beauty, and care.

Your creative gift may not be loud. It may not look like anyone else’s.
But that doesn’t diminish its value.

What you offer—however subtle or sacred—is a thread in the greater tapestry of God’s design.
A contribution. A seed. A form of worship.

So don’t dismiss what feels ordinary.
Don’t silence what flows through your hands when no one’s watching.
You were created to create—on purpose, and with purpose.

Let that truth settle deep.

You don’t need a title to be creative.
You just need to reflect the One who created you.

Surrender every false belief you’ve carried—
every doubt about your gift, every fear that you’re not enough.
Lay your creativity in God’s hands,
and trust that He will bless the work created with yours.

“The LORD will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow…” | Deuteronomy 28:12
