I heard this thing once ~ that art, that creative lifestyle ~ is to put forth your best, your best creative effort everyday and bring about a mini-miracle for the world about.
And in that moment of hearing and knowing the reality of that 'bringing about of mini-miracles' I feel the weight of the battle that rages within, my conflict as a "writer" or an "artist," this conflict has been my constant companion for sometime. For the flesh, the man in me knows that I can not produce a mini-miracle. Mortal man can not bring forth mini-miracles. Impossibility.
But . . . Spirit as constant companion continually reminds that a surrendered mortal in the hands of the Immortal God become living, breathing mini-miracle. And an artist is only giving color and shape to the mini-miracle inside their spirit man and writer only puts mini-miracle to prose through pencil.
An artist or a writer or whomever, that manages to bring about mini-miracles through their greatest creative effort are simply, surrendered saints.
What mini-miracle of creativity is He calling forth from your life? Have you surrendered to that? Have I surrendered to that?
