The book of Genesis says that human beings are made in God's image. One way of understanding what that means is to think in terms of what God does rather than how God "looks."

God creates. God also has given us the capacity to create. We can arrange words, think new thoughts, bring things together in unique ways. When we do that, we become co-creators with God, who continues to make new things as well as to make things new.

There are many opportunities in the Spirituality area of our web site for you to engage in creative activities as a way, in the words of the Westminster Catechism, to "glorify God and enjoy [God] forever." You will be invited to listen to music, hear scripture being read, move your body into various positions, take a meditative walk, look deeply into the artistic expressions of others, contemplate scripture passages, among other things.

You also will be invited to respond to some of these activities in creative ways. You may choose to write a poem, enter thoughts into a journal, cut out colored paper into shapes or some other method of expression. In so doing, you reflect the image of the God the creator. Try several things to see what speaks to your soul.
