Theft-Proof Creativity

Creative people often worry that others will steal their ideas and beat them to the marketplace. That might be true for generic widgets, but not for God-given creativity. 

Once you find your unique expression of beauty, life, and hope, no one can steal it. The canvas becomes your playground where you and God explore new possibilities through an outpouring of ideas, words, and images that ultimately results in books, paintings, songs, structures, schools, sports, and companies. 

What you and God create together is shaped and influenced by a convergence of curiosity, passion, and insight unique to you. It’s not by accident or happenstance. It’s because God planted these desires deep within you…before you were born. No one else has lived your life or engages with God quite like you. So they can’t create like you. If they try, it’s a pale imitation that lacks your voice, your story, and your heart. 

The only ones who should be worried about their creativity being stolen are those whose works are derived from groupthink and formula. Those offerings are predictable and forgettable. Plus, Artificial Intelligence will soon be able to duplicate them faster and better than humans.  

But what is created with God is theft-proof. Because neither humans nor machines are a match for what you and the Creator make together. If that sounds too good to be true, I’ll leave you with this invitation from God. 

Call to Me, and I will answer you. I will tell you of great things, things beyond what you can imagine, things you could never have known. (Jeremiah 33:3, The Voice)
