Greetings Dear Reader,
If we agree to see that God is an artist, what does it mean
to us as humans? What are the implications
for the guy or gal who drives a cement truck or builds water mains? If we agree further that we are created to be
sub-creators, then we are obligated to create.
That obligation then means that every day I need to
create. For those who do “art”, it is
simple. You write, paint, or make music
daily. Those who labor as artists in
things like construction or office work may not see the application as obviously. It is, however, there. There is artistry in a pristine proposal. The beauty of properly and
safely poured cement is only obvious after it has dried. The raw parts of a building do not reveal
their magnificence until the building is almost complete.
I would go further.
There is a unique elegance to work done with honor and integrity. If we put our heart into anything, we create
whether it be a simple meal or a mundane spreadsheet, we have created. We must understand that the Creator asks us
to create all that we create as if we are doing it just for him.
It is vital that I approach every task in the day with an
attitude that I am serving the Creator by creating well. Doing my best becomes an act of worship. The well-written plan, the clean floor, and
the tidy room can all become offerings of our best to the one who loves us
most. If the foundation is love, then doing
everything out of love for the Artist is a way to constantly express the artist
we are created to be.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

writer who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a
homeowner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
