Monthly Inspiration - February 2021

Welcome to the February inspiration.

In the midst of winter in the UK there are hints of nature’s preparation for spring with bulbs beginning to show and buds beginning to form. We have been looking at the theme of ‘light’ in creativity sessions over the last month and this has been so encouraging. Some of the participants have shared their responses below to help uplift us all and remind us amidst a very uncertain time that we can be sure God is with us and that He loves us.

‘The Lord your God is in your midst — a warrior bringing victory. He will create calm with His love; He will rejoice over you with singing.’ Zephaniah 3:17

Creativity Stories

‘Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.’ Psalm 119:105 NLT

Light

One participant shares her creative expression: “I was so comforted by the image God gave me. At the beginning of the year, I was so overwhelmed by everything that needs to be done, but also by the great uncertainty of things, that I almost just became apathetic. It doesn’t help to plan or dream, because it will probably just change and not happen, right…The scripture in Psalm 119 gave me such peace – God gives light for every step. Just have the boldness to take it, even if I can’t see meters in front of me. I also was reminded of the shoes of readiness to carry out the Gospel of Christ. Our calling is to put on these shoes every day and just take steps as the Lord guides. Not to become fearful of the shadowed, unknown future, and not to just stand still, but pick up our cross each day, put on the shoes and take the step!“
