Created to Create

by Rev. Ashley Rose Legrand, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

The Course tells us, we were literally created TO create. To extend love. “Unless you create you are unfulfilled, but God does not know unfulfillment and therefore you must create.” (T-7.IX.3:6) Because we are one with God, our souls will long to seek fulfillment. When we don’t pursue our ministry, in whatever form that might be, we feel unfulfilled. Something is missing and not quite right. We can sense that something is just a little off. Our capabilities are lying dormant and our capacity for extension is not being fully utilized.

When we lean into spirit, get still and listen to the voice for God and what He is asking us to do and put out into the world, we feel a sense of restoration. Satisfied in a way beyond what the temporary pleasures of the world can provide. God is asking us to be His eyes, His ears, His hands, His feet and tongue. To bring into creation and into the world of form the unseen promises of His word. To make what seems to be hidden known and to help others see it too. He’s asking us to help our companions believe. To encourage them to feel and to know. Simply by our example. To remember His grace and to follow Him in confidence and in certainty.

“For this alone I need; that you will hear the words I speak, and give them to the world. You are my voice, my eyes, my feet, my hands through which I save the world.” (W-rV.in.9:2-3)

Let us walk in the light and leave behind a trail. A star for those alongside us to walk with us in loving unison. To help them remember the way to truth. The softer, gentler way that leads to peace and joy. “Our shining footprints point the way to truth, for God is our Companion as we walk the world a little while. And those who come to follow us will recognize the way because the light we carry stays behind, yet still remains with us as we walk on.” (W-124.2:4-5)

In your divinely appointed role you will perform many good works inspired by the love of your creator. You are an elegant muse. An extension of His love. You are the very handwriting of God Himself. Allow Him to awaken you. Excite you. Delight you. In whatever medium of expression He bestows unto you. Your heart will dance, sing and glow, to unforced rhythms of grace — the natural result of stepping into alignment with your assignment.

Your life is your ministry and by extension your work of art, You hold the pen and the paintbrush. It’s all in your hands. Bringing that creative vision into form is your gift to the world. And what gift could be more beautiful than writing the story of your heart, given to you by God, on the canvas that is your life’s work, for all the world to see?
