"Pleasure in Creativity"
by Dr. John Williams, IICM

And God called the dry land earth and the gathering together of waters called he seas; and God saw "it was good" (Genesis 1:10)

In the whole chapter of Genesis Chapter 1, we read about the way God created different things everyday such as, the sky, the seas, the earth, the grass, the herb, the fruit bearing trees, the sun and the moon, the stars, the moving creatures, the whales and the fish, the fowls, the cattle, the beast, etc., and after creating something everyday when he looked at it, he said that "it was good".

Our God is a creator. He himself said at the end of everyday that what he created was good. We have to know that the greatest joy that we can have in our life also, is in innovating and creating something new, because there is joy in creation.

God has given us his mind and the capability to imagine, conceive, design and develop something new or one of its kind, using our creative ability or the characteristic of creativity which is God's inherent quality. I would challenge every reader to use this greatest attribute God has given us, in developing or doing something new, innovative and creative every day, using our potential and rejoice over it, thanking the Lord for giving us the very nature of God, which is creative because he is the creator.
