Creativity Is Worship

Creativity is worship.

I remember the first time I had that thought.

It's a clear memory from my youth worship band days. My  middle school self was singing back-up. I used to focus my brain so firmly on Jesus, I think I may have started to sweat him during worship. In my mind I would yell, "JESUS JESUS JESUS" until I thought I hit my maximum Holiness spot. Back then that was my worship formula.

One particular night though, I let myself go and I sang what I thought was the coolest melody I had ever heard. For all of those runners out there... Ever hit a runner's high? I can explain what I experienced that night as a singer's high. For about two minutes, as I sang whatever creative melody I heard in my mind, I experienced elation and ecstasy like I hadn't before.

This is when I discovered. Creativity is Worship. I had entered a new level of knowing my creator. His creation was creating with Him.

I was creating with Him. There's nothing more intimate than that.
