Be Encouraged.
We could all use more than a little refreshment.
This journey of creativity is made of many, many different aspects and elements. I would argue there are none more weighty than what we believe about God and what He has said of us.
I realize there are many who may not share my view. If that’s you, simply skip ahead to the “Resources” section which can be found on the Creativity Workshop Homepage. For those who would appreciate this type of encouragement, read on…
How to approach these things:
Below, I provide a list of scriptures taken from the Bible. We have all read books, and we all know that what is said in context is of greatest importance. With that, I encourage you to not simply look at these verses, but to press in and read what was before and after.
Nevertheless, these scriptures, which can also stand alone, are for your encouragement and exhortation.
Be blessed!
