Be encouraged!

Well, it's been a bit long since the previous post!  Been a bit hectic with other things.  On the creative front....I'm so aware that God has His hand on us and our creativity.  While at a church prayer meeting a few weeks back, God was really emphasizing His plans for us in the area of creativity.  We sometimes forget that He has spoken into this so often.  This shouldn't surprise us as He is The Creator, is a Creative God and watches over what He has created. During the meeting there were words spoken over individual's creativity.  God's promises and plans for what He has in store in the area of creativity were also revealed - encouraging stuff!  Just when you feel you are hitting a wall, God always breaks through - with a word of encouragement or direction.  You feel you can pick up again and launch into a new project.  That's why I enjoy the prophetic gifting so much - it ushers in God's encouragement when you need it the most.  Creative people need courage!  If we are to portray God's heart, His light in an ever-increasingly dark world - we need courage, huge reservoirs of it!  Courage to follow through on what you feel you are hearing from God - courage to launch out into a work which you may only have a glimpse of, not knowing where exactly it will take you.  You need courage to pursue your dream, especially when things get tough.  If you are feeling overwhelmed in pursuing your dream, hang in there, petition God for a word of encouragement.  He IS faithful!
