One day, is now !

Search the Scriptures

God created man in his image, he created him in the image of God. Genesis 1.27

Our Creator endowed us with creativity. Some of us manifest this gift, others lack the confidence or the time. They wait for favorable circumstances to dare to start.

If you have set aside certain dreams, now may be the time to allow them to see the light of day.

"One day, I will write ; one day, I will start (or go back to) Hebrew; one day, I will learn this or that technique..." We all have little secrets that we don't have inevitably shared, even with our relatives.

I had dreamed for decades of learning to spin wool and winnow baskets. It's done and I'm very proud of it. The results are not comparable to those of the professionals, but that is not a big deal. This allowed me to meet fascinating people and to be able to testify to them of my faith.

Implementing a project can quickly become time-consuming, even addictive. This requires a little organization so as not to endanger our spiritual and family life.

Do you dream of writing ? Start with small items. Do you dream of a beautiful vegetable garden ? Buy four stalks of cherry tomatoes and take care of them. You'll be so proud to show them off this summer saying : "I grew them !"

Be wise : don't set the bar too high from the start and especially don't compare yourself to people who have years of practice behind them. Because you could quickly get discouraged.

Our Creator has endowed you with creativity, so don't wait any longer : get started ! I'm sure you'll be surprised and proud to have dared !

Go ahead : one day, is now !

Listen the voice of God

What are the dreams that you have put aside for too long and would like to see manifested in your reality ? Present them to your Heavenly Father, who will give you the impetus to begin making them a reality.

To pray is to talk to God. Talk to him like you would your closest friend. Here is an example of a prayer that you can follow : "Lord, very often I lack the confidence to put my talents forward, to bring my dreams to life. Help me to dare, to move forward and to deploy all my creativity. It is you, Lord, who make all things possible. Amen !"

Praise God

You can now praise the Lord for creating you in his image, with incredible abilities.

Act today

Stop saying that you are not talented and dare to implement this dream that has lived in you for so long. How could you start today ?

Honor the Lord

Our journey for the day ends. Let us pray together to honor our God.

"Thank you, Lord, for this wonderful spirit of creativity with which you have endowed us. To you be the kingdom, the power and the glory, amen !"
