A Daily Devotion for Monday, November 13

John 1:3

Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

Our human creativity is a gift from God- part of His own creation. We can do nothing without the gifts He has already given us. When I imagine a world without music, poetry, novels, paintings, sculpture, etc, it is a depressing and flat one, indeed. God wanted us to be able to create beauty of our own, but it ultimately comes from Him. God's beauty draws us to Him.

Holy One- you created each and every one of us for a purpose. Some were given gifts of great creative ability. This was not just for them, but for all to enjoy, and to help all grow closer to you. I am so thankful, and I feel closer to you when I am immersed in another's creativity, knowing it comes from you. Amen
