A Brief Thought Part II

This is an add on to what I said earlier about God writing through us. Just some random thoughts. I would love to hear what all of you have to say on the matter. 


Earlier I said that I thought it was silly when people say God wrote a song through them, partially because it smacks of false humility and partially because I believe God created us to create. However, I do believe that the Spirit of God can give us words that we wouldn't normally sing in and of ourselves, such as in spontaneous worship and whatnot. But even then there's sort of a mixture of our spirits with His. He does write through us, so to speak, but we're right there with Him in the creating process, our hearts becoming one. 


And I think He wants us to take compliments. It gives glory to Him, because we were created in His image. Humility isn't defacing ourselves, but knowing who the source is. Also, it's good to recognize that He created us to be unique expressions of Himself with unique voices and giftings. He doesn't want us to be mindless. He doesn't want to control us, contrary to popular belief. He takes joy in our individuality, which is different from independence. We are to be dependent individuals, relying upon Him as our source but also unique in our expression. 


I just thought I'd add that on to my earlier brief thought. I'd love to hear other opinions. Blessings and joy!
