What it is to truly be, "Creative"

Creativity, something I've never really thought of until tonight. For background I was at worship for Christian Campus House down here and the minister was speaking about how creativity is so important to all aspects of our lives. He went on to say that most people have a narrow definition of creativity like being able to create interesting things, being artistic, being musically talented etc. But what is creativity really about, what if we are all creative and just do not know it. God was the ultimate creative being he made everything we see, touch, hear, smell, and taste. From the birds in the sky to ants that crawl on the ground. God was truly the ultimate creative being and guess what? We were made in his image and like the saying goes, "the fruit never falls far from the tree" did we really fall that far from God? Did his creativeness spill onto each and every one of us? I am sure any one could debate this point but I believe that each and everyone of us are truly amazing, different, creative people in our own way weather we know it or not. Going back to some stuff I wrote a while back the world truly tries weather successful or not to fit each and everyone of us into a mold or place among things this mold for better or worst usually is not who we really are but through conditioning of others and constant influence of the world we end up becoming comfortable in this mold. According to the bible Christians are set apart from every one else, but what if its not necessarily that we're set apart as it is we are just conditioned not to follow what the world wants for us but what God wants for us and through that were able to tap into the person that is underneath that wall the world has built for us. In my opinion anyone can tap into the person God wants them to be the person they really are, some people including my self believe that through God we end up knowing our true place and who we really are. Some people believe in individual achievement. It doesn't matter what any one believes, we are truly creative people from the way we talk, to the way we think and if we can truly tap into that creativeness inside of all of our souls I believe that we are truly making God happy and that he loves and values nothing more then each and every one of us being who he created us to be weather we believe in him or not. Don't be afraid to be who you really are, to say the things you really want to say, to feel the way you really want to feel, don't hold back in life, love, or anything for that matter do the best you can and do it YOUR way not anyone else's or how the world wants you to do in doing that you find the true definition to creativity....
