Creation Rights

“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible…He is before all things and in him all things hold together.” Col. 1:15-17.

First and foremost God is a loving Creator. He has been creating since the beginning of time and is in a perpetual state of motion in regards to His creations. The beautiful thing about our Creator is that no matter how far we veer off course He can take our broken dreams and hopes and create a beautiful masterpiece in our lives. He sees the possibilities apart from our circumstances when all we can see is chaos, fear and uncertainty.

The key to allowing Him “creation rights” is to surrender our own ideas of how things should seem or appear and give Him the creative license to work on our behalf in this life. When I began feeling His urging to join Him in the creation of E.L.M. it was clear that I was to come along side Him and be shown the design frame by frame. There is an enormous freedom in not knowing where I will be taken on this journey for it allows me to remove my hands from this endeavor.

When we are shown a new creation or design for our lives we must submit to the Creator and allow Him to act upon the greater vision that He has for our lives. God has the right to alter a direction in our lives that does not match what He is creating on our behalf. “He only redirects when He knows there is something we need to do, or the potential for greater blessing is in another direction.” Charles Stanley, Success God’s Way.

Every touch from God in our lives is a fingerprint of His creation rooted in love and individual in purpose.
