lent day 13 - uninspired

Was on Facebook earlier and telling a friend that I was feeling uninspired about the blog.  What could I write about?  He suggested, somewhat tongue in cheek I suspect,  that I write about being uninspired.  And as I started to think about that.....

To inspire literally means to breathe in.  Im pretty sure that all true inspiration comes from breathing in the ideas and heart and mind of God.  All the great inventions and discoveries of the world have come about by people grasping something divine, ingesting it and then seeing it come to be.  Be that a work of art or a piece of music or a scientific discovery or a mathematical formula.  Every good and perfect gift comes from God.  He spoke in the very beginning and His DNA went forth into the universe and is still there sustaining all things.  Every breath we take, every move we make, is only possible because of I AM
. 

So when I am UNinspired...... I clearly haven't been breathing.  I have not sat down and spent time just absorbing the spirit of God, letting His presence fill me and filter through me into my thinking and imagination and writing.   Which is why I started writing these blogs in the first place .  To MAKE me focus, breathe, wait, and get inspiration.

God is the author of all beauty, all creativity, all invention.  He is colour and light and music and perfume.  His desire is that we become beautiful, creative, inventive ,colourful. musical, sweet fragrances on the earth.  Sit with Him for a while and breathe in His essence.  Let Him fill you with His fullness so that you can overflow into an uninspired world
