Create!

God is a creative God. He created everything we see. If we love God, we will treat His creations with respect. He loves us and loves us when we create, even though our skills are pitiful in light of his power. Writing a song, a story, or a poem is creation and God delights in it. Repairing a toilet or cleaning a carpet is a creative act, and God delights in it. Landscaping or simply picking up trash is creative. Never think that what you do is insignificant when you are doing it for the Lord. When you do something small for someone the world might view as insignificant, you are doing it for Christ himself. You aren't released from that responsibility just because you don't have public talents. The vast majority of effective ministry comes from ordinary people doing kind acts of service for other ordinary people.
