Creativity Often Grows in the Soil of Suffering

Pain has a way of cracking open the soul, revealing truths we might otherwise never confront.

When people face deep necessity, whether emotional, social, or physical, they are pushed to imagine new solutions, new ways of being.

Adversity becomes a forge, refining raw experience into creative expression.These expressions are not just acts of beauty but of survival, healing, and transformation.

Pain, when channeled, becomes purpose. And that is where true creativity is born.

I respect your answer but humbly disagree. I have to go with what God says in his word, which is, one cannot be born of the spirit (born-again) until they come to Jesus who gives it. Upon inviting Jesus into their heart and life as their Savior. John 3:3

Before we surrender to the Holy Spirit’s urging, our spirits are dead to the things of God (Romans 8:8). We have no good within ourselves and no desire to submit to our Creator. We are dead spiritually and have no way to make ourselves alive. Just as a corpse cannot do anything to help himself, so we cannot save ourselves or make a move to cleanse our sins. We cannot even produce the desire to obey God. We were dead because of our sin. Dead people need a life-giver. John 1:4 says of Jesus, “In him was life, and the life was the light of men.”

What are your thoughts on that?
