In the process of creativity, we have to know that He loves what we do. No matter what we create, He wants to hang it on His fridge in Heaven, display it to the angels, and rejoice over what we have done because we are His children, and He enjoys us and loves what we do. This changes everything. It doesn't matter if you are a great vocalist, painter, musician, or dancer. If you don't know that He loves it when you create, you will always be looking for approval. Love is the great leveler in the Body of Christ. This doesn't diminish taking time to perfect our skill or craft, but if we start performing we will end up comparing. If we start loving His presence, we will end up having greater fruit as we practice and grow in skills.
