The Birth of a Beautiful Creation

THE SHORT VERSION - GOD is GOOD and it is my absolute pleasure to share how wonderful He is! I praise Him for saving me from a life of sin and rebellion in opposition to Him, I praise Him for blessing me with the gift of creating beautiful ways of sharing His Word and His goodness. 

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights" James 1:17

THE LONG VERSION - Lovingly Created is a concept that has been nestled in my heart for several years, gradually blossoming as I deepen my relationship with Christ.

I was once an enthusiastic “Cage Stage” Baby Christian, filled with a powerful testimony of transformation from darkness to light. I was eager for every person I came across to discover the incredible forgiveness and fresh new life available to everyone who submits their life to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

However, I realised I needed to “cool the jets” let's say quite a bit! And for that I give all praise and glory to our loving and gracious Heavenly Father who helped me recognise the importance of a necessary humbling.

Yes I admit my humbling had to be big, it had to be life changing for me to wakeup and slow down enough to realise I needed to grow for God, not myself, the result of which I now carry graciously with the daily reminder of an an ongoing health issue which left me bedridden for quite some time. During that time away from the world I spent more time in His word than I ever imagined possible, experiencing deeper understanding of who He is and how His Son saved me, and how His holy Spirit now dwells in me. 

I know and understand this “time out” was absolutely necessary for me. God grew me in ways I never even realised I needed to grow. He opened my eyes and my heart and placed me in situations where I honestly believe I would not be here to tell the tale of had I not stood strong and faithful trusting Him and having a dear sister in Christ walking by my side, guiding me to honour God’s word and grow through those challenging days.

In the past few months, God has graciously blessed me with a wee bit more strength, energy and some working brain cells lol. I can see Him gently guiding me back to my love for creating. I had previously placed this passion above all else, it became my most cherished idol, my prized identity and I know He had to strip it from me to open my eyes to the control it had over my life with my thinking it was me and my talents.

The resurfacing of it in my life has come as quite a surprise to me, I truly thought and know I deserved to have it taken from me forever. However, I see God working through me now, my focus is now on Him, His word, and His Son, Jesus Christ and all I create is because of His gift to me to bring glory to Him, and not of my own doing.

I pray that my new creative endeavours bring you joy and serve as a blessing in your life. We never know where God may lead us, but if you don’t yet have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, my advice would be:

“We have no idea the daily crisis we create and live in our lives the moment our eyes open in the morning, thinking we are in control of all we do. We can never fully grasp how incredible and life-changing it is to relinquish the control we 'think we have over our lives' and submit to Christ. This decision will transform you from the inside out—you will become a new creation. You will come to understand how we live our lives against the majestic creator of our world and us, you will come to understand how helpless and sinful we truly are even though we may think we are good people, God's word will show us that none, not one of us truly is.

Whether you believe it or like it (both are irrelevant) God sees and knows our every thought even before we think it, He knows the parts we think we are hiding from others.  He knew we could never fix things of our own accord, so much so that he provided the ultimate sacrifice to save us from ourselves, His Son Jesus Christ gave His life on the cross to atone for our sinful existence! 

Let's face it, how many people think they are 'good people'? Even what we class as bad people think they are good, I thought I was good and there's a good chance if you don't yet have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that you may just think you're a good person too! 

But there is hope, it's not too late. But you do need to understand this world as it is, is leading you in the wrong direction. This world is proud to tell everyone to put themselves first, love themselves before anyone else, they are perfect just the way they are, I'm sorry (not sorry) to burst your bubble, but this is a lie which is fooling the masses, destroying lives and precious families!

The reality that no one likes to face is if you don't do exactly the opposite and truly humble yourself and confess to our Loving Heavenly Father the pride and self love you carry about yourself, and everything good you think you are and ask for His forgiveness and accept His Son Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, a role ONLY He could play on the cross dying to pay for your sins and his resurrection 3 days later you will never know TRUE LOVE, PEACE & FREEDOM, you will always have an aching inside that will NEVER be filled by anything this temporary world has to offer. 

I WAS one of those people who thought Christians were clueless weak prudes who needed a fake book of rules and a pastor to show them how to live life as hypocritical good well behaved christians. I will happily eat humble pie and say "Boy was I wrong!!". "
