Whether you find yourself "artsy" or not, you are still Creative. You maybe just need to uncover it.
The very first 2 revelations we have of God are that He is that He is Creative (Genesis 1: 1), and that He is Relational (John 1:1). In fact, He invites us to take part in the creation of the world. Rather than Him creating a world full of people, He has given us the joy of filling the earth through the creation of families. But He also expects us to work along-side Him to care for the earth and ensure that the beauty of His work of art lasts.
So, we have been empowered to create, build, and design in some form or other. Indeed just the fact that we are all created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), means that we have a creative nature in us. Even Pablo Picasso recognized that all people are born artists.
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” - Pablo Picasso
And so it is that whenever something is done, if it is done creatively, it will be far more successful. Designing cars, playing a sport, starting a new business, inventing new technology, advancement in science, resolving community issues, fulfilling marriage vows, and on and on – all these things reach a higher level of satisfaction and achieve greater success when approached from a creative standpoint.
Creativity is simply adding something new and good to your "little corner of life."
God clearly has gifted some people with more artistic talents than others and some just seem to naturally have a clearer sense of design than others. But we are all creative by nature – and it is a proven fact over and over that when we are given the opportunity and guidance to be able to create is some fashion or another, it will carry into our lives overall.
