Creativity is about taking blank, empty space and canvas and calling forth something beautiful. \u00a0Creativity is about taking darkness and turning it into light.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">And boy doesn\u2019t it feel like we could use some creativity in how we are living our life together.\u00a0 Folks who will make space to dream up realities that are not yet seen. People who bring imagination and have practiced the art calling forth beauty for beauty\u2019s sake.\u00a0 Communities willing to be vulnerable and take a risk to make something new\u2026 something that God will call good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">I think the Kingdom of God is creative in ways beyond our imagination and in exercising and flexing our muscles of imagination and creativity, we start to get bigger glimpses of how God is working in the world.\u00a0 So whether it is painting or choreography, cooking or writing, playing dress up with our kids or throwing a pot, photography or giving space to daydream, let\u2019s choose to make room for creativity in our lives.\u00a0 And let\u2019s see how flexing those muscles of calling forth beauty and making space for imagination change the way that we live together.\u00a0 Let\u2019s see it change the way we parent and the way we partner.\u00a0 Let\u2019s see it change the way we engage in hospitality and how we see the stranger in our midst.\u00a0 Let\u2019s see it change the way we run board meetings and respond to emails.\u00a0 Let\u2019s see it change the way we care for the earth and think about future generations.\u00a0 Let\u2019s see it change the way we relate to money and how we practice generosity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Let\u2019s let creativity become a spiritual practice, opening ourselves up to connect and learn from the One who created us in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">We are whole beings and we were created to be creators and invited to participate in the building of a new Kingdom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">So how will you flex those creative muscles today?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/serveglobally\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2019\/02\/chris-and-jenny-hoskins-fam.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1523\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/serveglobally\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2019\/02\/chris-and-jenny-hoskins-fam.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"288\" height=\"233\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Used with permission.
