The hidden man of the heart. (1 Peter 3:4)

This is the place to start.

The heart, the inner man, is the fount. From it flow the issues of life.

It’s from here that all your creativity, your energy, the boundaries and boundless possibilities of character and accomplishments flow.

No wonder the Scriptures urge:

“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:23 KJV)

You are a spirit, and your spirit is connected to God. That vital connection is your lifeline.

He is not distant.

In fact, He could not be closer.

“But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.” (1 Corinthians 6:17 NKJV)

The creative Christian life is one lived in close fellowship with the Creator.

It is not one free of mistakes. Not a life devoid of challenges.

But it is a life of proximity.

Guard and protect your heart from the buffeting winds of the world that strive to convince you otherwise; the voices that say you have to be perfect, the whispers that you are alone.

God is present right now to take you over.

He is your victory.

Whatever “this” is for you…

You’ve got this!
