Dandelion Dew

This picture was sent to me by email. I don't know who took the picture but it is fabulous! It is simply dew on a dandelion. Kudos to the photographer!

Seeing this makes me wonder if I could ever choose man made beauty over this kind of God breathed majesty. I certainly know my limitations in creating beautiful things. I have seen artwork that stuns me with the amazing talent it takes to draw from ordinary materials and birth a unique creation, but God surpasses them all.

What do you see in this picture? I see beauty, but even more than that I see life! I see life in its most fragile state. One wisp of a breath could shatter the glorious balance of dandelion dew. I also want to see myself in this picture. I want to see the weeds of my soul sprinkled with living water. I want the things that are weedy in me to be used to glorify the One and Only Creator.

Creator God, You are Amazingly Brilliant in how You make the world come together. You teach and reveal Yourself through Your Creation. You open our eyes to see You in the tiniest and the grandest displays! Thank You for letting us see Your glory.

Creativity

I believe that every person has some creativity hidden within his/her makeup. Yes, I do think it is found in every person.

Creativity need not be limited to the arts or literature. It should include any new thought (or old) that is expressed in a new and unique way. Yes, there are those who seem to think in new ways naturally. I have seen people who say they have no creativity use their own abilities to complete a task or present an idea in an unusual way. It comes to mind those who build the buildings that the artist has drawn. Without the builders the architect only has a lovely picture. We need the creation of all . Creativity lives in us because our maker is a creator! We are made to be like Him. We create because He creates.

Our creativity does have limits but His does not! The Creator created the universe and stepped back to see its wonder and beauty and called it good because it came from Him who is good! I share that same delight when I join Him in creating something beautiful or meaningful.

I would like to see all people acknowledge their creative sense. I want to see everyone use the gifts within them, not for their own pleasure only, but for the delight and good of all! It is good for us to join our Creator in creating
