A great quotation from Michael Card (yes, that one, the singer)expressing something I really believe:
Creativity is worship because, at its essence, it is a response. I hear the Word and I respond with music, with silence, in adoration, in appreciation by picking up the basin and the towel. It is a romantic response to this Person whom I adore. He is beautiful! I want nothing more than to be in his presence. I love him! And so I sing and I write. If I could paint or dance I would do that as well. I forgive someone who couldn’t care less about being forgiven. I try to reach out across the vast distance between me and my brother or sister.
Because creativity is a response, it does not originate with me. God speaks. He moves. He is beautiful. We respond. We create. We worship.
