Summary

Have you ever considered that your life is the canvas on which God wants to create?

In this week's episode, Pastor Erwin McManus delivers a passionate message on our God-given ability to become God's work of art. When we allow him to paint our souls with the colors of faith, hope, love, and courage -- the possibilities are endless.

As creatives, we often become discouraged by the limitations of our contracts, resources, and abilities. But if God himself is hopeful about the possibilities of human life -- His chosen canvas -- how much more must we take advantage of the canvas we've each been entrusted with.

Whether we are nurses, teachers, or writers, we have the opportunity to bring an abundance of life through our personal brushstrokes on life's canvas.

This message is inspired by Artisan Soul, Erwin Raphael McManus' book that calls us to reclaim our creative essence as humans.

0:48.5	and He created us creatively.
0:51.6	He created us to create.
0:54.6	That God imagined us before we were ever formed in our mothers' wombs,
0:59.2	but not only did He imagine you, He gave you an imagination.
1:04.0	And that imagination is this astonishing reflection of being created in the image and likeness of God.
1:11.8	And because you are created in the image and likeness of God, as God imagines and creates,
1:19.2	so you have been designed to imagine and create.
1:23.6	And in the way that bees create hives and ants create colonies that humans create futures,
1:27.8	and this is a part of what is perplexing as a human being.
1:33.4	Because we can see a life we've never lived.
1:37.2	We can see a world we've never known.
1:39.0	We can see an us we have never become and be so compelled by it that we begin to translate
1:45.7	that imagination into reality.
