Thought for the Week - God's creativity
 
At an assembly last week I was reflecting on the wonder and beauty of God’s creation. 
A few days later at Activitea I was admiring the creative talents of some of the ladies there.  We also enjoy the creativity of our “flower girls”.  The very next day I conducted the funeral of another person who had been amazingly creative in a variety of crafts.
In the Book of Exodus we are told that God had gifted a certain Bezalel with a wide range of creative skills, which he was to use to glorify God in the work of the Temple.
We are made in the image of our creator God and He continues to bless His people with a vast range of different skills.
I believe the challenge is to help people know, appreciate and celebrate their particular gifts.
You may be very conscious of your gifts – but that might not be true for others. We’re not always good at recognising our gifts – for all sorts of reasons – but often others can see clearly where those gifts and talents lie. 
So why not, this week, give thanks to God for the gifts and gifting he has given you. 
Think also what might it be like to encourage others in the gifts we see in them. And whether for ourselves or others lets be encouraged to offer those gifts and skills in God’s service.
