I create because I want other people to see the things I see in my mind's eye. I pursue relentlessly a God who loves me.

Zechariah (1:18) saw a vision of four craftsmen which God raised up against four horns. The horns are the powers that scatter God's people. The craftsmen? They're artists, tradesmen. Ordinary people with extraordinary desire.

The first person the Bible mentions being filled with the Spirit of God was Bezalel. Exodus 31 says:

“See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship."

God didn't fill him with His Spirit to go kill people, to feed widows and clothe orphans, or to preach annointed sermons. He filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God "to design artistic works". He gave Bezalel wisdom, understanding and knowledge for the sole purpose of creating artistic works in every medium. That's what I want.

I want to create to the best of the ability He's placed in me. I want wisdom, knowledge and understanding. I want to represent a pure and holy God, the King of the Universe who calls me His friend.

I create because I want people to see God for who He really is.
