The Surrendered life. You can become Creative
/This I just read in Stanley Jones "In Christ." In Christ you can become creative--creating newborn souls, new hopes, new movements, new thinking, new acting new loving, new health, new everything. To share the creative activity of Jesus and become a center of creation is the glorious and breathtaking privilege of those in Christ.
The pastor guides his flock--to guide what has already been created. The really surrendered person, however, who lets the creative power of Jesus work through him becomes a spiritual father, creating newborn souls. This is normal. Every Christian should be spiritually creative, or else he sinks into the subnormal, the sub-Christian.
The Creative Christian knows that he is only the channel of the Creative Spirit of Jesus within him. Only the surrendered are creative. The self-assertive become the guides, the fussy managers of other people.
