Creativity

This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing "I am voting for God" on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life.

Dear God,

I noticed that the word reaction can be created from the word creation if I moved the c to the middle from the front. In my mind there is an interplay between creation and reaction or rather there is something meaningful to be derived from my observation. I went searching and I found this quote which I do not fully understand yet and it has certainly given me some food for thought. "C what you R. You R not what you C. Don’t live in ReaCtion, live in CReation." — JClay. What I get from this is that I should be creating the life I want instead of just reacting to life. I had to summon the help of my friend Gemini for this one and this is what he had to say.

Your observation about "reaction" being nestled within "creation" is a powerful one, echoing JClay's sentiment that we should strive for "CReation" over mere "ReaCtion." It highlights the choice we have to be active shapers of our lives rather than simply responding to external forces. By understanding that our perceptions ("C what you R") don't define our potential ("You R not what you C"), we are encouraged to move beyond a reactive existence and intentionally create the reality we desire.

I feel like there are many ways to look at this quote and more than one thing to take away from it. Life is about the C in creation. Life is how we make it. Life is how we create it. Life is about the choices we have and the choices we make. Life is about creating solutions. Cures for our problems. Greek philosopher Epictetus, famously stated, "It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it, that matters". God help me to react by creating. Creating a life that is full of purpose and blessings from You. I noticed that I can see (c) the word God in the word code by putting the e in c and moving the bar. God is the code of life. God sets the bar. I can creatively sum up my thoughts with seven c's. Consciously choosing to confront life's challenges with creativity through God’s code of conduct.

Faith

By
This is a chapter from my latest book called (G)rains (o)f san(d)s. Learn more about the book here . Thank you God for faith. We say we want to meet God but we already do in some ways. We meet God in his creation. We meet God every time we meet someone. We meet God every time we meet the animals. We meet God every time we meet nature. God is all around. Faith is when we can see this. This is God's world. We are God's work. We are testimony of his greatness. Everyday that goes by I think about God. Everyday I thank God for his mercy. I take my problems to God. I pray to God. God is at the center of my life. Nothing happens without the will of God and therefore I would be wise to submit to the will of God. God is in the everyday moments. God loves when we love. What is the simplest definition of faith? I think it is found in the phrase, let go and let God. I asked my friend the same question. My friend says that at its simplest, faith is trust in what you cannot see or prove. But...

Flowers

By
This is a chapter from my latest book called (G)rains (o)f san(d)s. Learn more about the book here . Thank you God for the flowers. I bought a blue daze flowering plant for my mom when I went out to walk one day. It adds some colour to the nature in the yard. It is beautiful. I was told that blue flowers are rare. My friend says that blue is relatively rare in nature due to chemical and physical challenges in producing this color in living organisms. Nothing exists completely on its own. Plants depend on insects and other creatures, while those creatures depend on plants and their flowers. There is an interconnectedness in creation that reminds me that God is intentional. Flowers are beautiful but so is everything else if we really consider things with an open mind. What is beauty? What makes some things more beautiful than others? They say that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Beauty is subjective. My friend says that what I am talking about is the perceptual mind where meaning ...

Softness

By
This is a chapter from my latest book called (G)rains (o)f san(d)s. Learn more about the book here . Thank you God for softness. The gentleness of prayer. The calmness of the heart. The patience of the mind. The soft sounds of nature. The cool breezes of shade. The slow movement of sand in the hand. The kindness of strangers. The soothing voices of Quran. The warm embrace of the azan. I move through life with softness in my heart. I move through life with joy. I move through life wishing good for others. There is a peace that comes with being soft. The angels surround those who are soft. Soft like the winds of heaven. Soft like the clouds in the sky. Easy like Friday morning. May I never lose this softness that allows me to see beauty and goodness in everything and everyone. The world tries to harden me but I refuse. I walk upon the earth softly. I love without fear. My every breath is a prayer of gratitude. Let my heart remain like grains of sand in the hands of God that are softly he...
