Duende

Fredrico Garcia Lorca wrote about a creative force inside us all called “duende”. He said, “It is a power and not a behavior; it is the struggle that one must endure to create something of greatness”. Sounds to me like the work of the Holy Spirit inside each of us. Sounds like taking up our cross and following Jesus.

Check out what Galatians says along these line about being creative in chapter 6: 4,5 in The Message: “Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don’t be impressed with yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the CREATIVE best you can with your own lives.” Interesting thoughts that again sound like what we do when we take up our cross and follow Jesus.

Hope to see you in worship tomorrow if you are near Brownsburg, IN.
