"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." - Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)
As we stand on the threshold of another Christmas, let us, as Christian creatives, take a moment to reflect on the canvas of the year that has unfolded before us. Like a masterful piece of art, our lives have been painted with the brushstrokes of joy, challenges, growth, and grace.
In this season of celebration, let's echo the melody of Paul and Silas in our hearts. As we look back, may we see not just the milestones and achievements, but the gentle handprints of our Savior in every twist and turn. For every creative endeavor, every moment of inspiration, every breakthrough, and every trial – His presence has been our constant companion.
Christmas is more than tinsel and lights; it's the celebration of the greatest gift ever given – Jesus Christ. In the chaos of deadlines and the whirlwind of creativity, it's easy to lose sight of the profound simplicity of this truth. This Christmas, let's unwrap the gift of gratitude. Thank Him for the beauty in our lives, for the silent whispers of inspiration, and for the privilege of being vessels of His creativity.
As the year draws to a close, let the story of Christmas infuse our hearts with renewed hope. The child born in Bethlehem grew to be the Wonderful Counselor, the mighty God. In Him, we find wisdom for our creativity, strength for our endeavors, and the peace that surpasses all understanding.
This Christmas, let our studios be filled not just with the sounds of creativity but with the echoes of praise. May the joy of the season overflow in our work, touching the lives of those who experience our art. As we gather with loved ones, in person or in spirit, let's remember that we are part of a grand narrative, written by the Author of Life Himself.
