Another shower thought - What does it mean to be GIFTED? And WHY THE STARS are FALLING ALMIGHTY GOD THE CREATOR is THE SOURCE of ALL CREATIVE INSPIRATION.  This means that GOD is THE COMPOSER of ALL MUSIC that is, has been or ever will be.  Same goes for EVERY STORY EVER WRITTEN, ALL ART EVER CREATED and so on.   When a person is GIFTED, this MEANS that GOD is giving them access to HIS CREATIVE GENIUS.  GOD does this out of LOVE for the recipient of the GIFT, and out of LOVE for those of us who will enjoy and be enriched by the "new to us" creation, be it music, story, etc.    The recipient of the the GIFT is considered to have TALENT.  Notice the construction of the word (TA) LENT.  This means that the recipient is being given TEMPORARY ACCESS TO GOD'S CREATIVITY.  Continued ACCESS DEPENDS on the recipient's ability to TAP INTO GOD'S CREATIVITY. They must be ON TRACK with GOD'S PLAN, meaning that they pray and have faith to act on the guidance that GOD gives them.  The further away they diverge from GOD'S PERFECT PLAN, the MORE THEIR ACCESS IS DIMINISHED and THE LESS TALENT they have.  The recipient also needs to be thankful to GOD for their GIFT.  Consider the ONE HIT WONDERS out there.  Chances are certain that the recipient went OFF GOD'S PATH and LOST ACCESS. the father of bad copies, aka satan, with his insatiable greed, saw the opportunity to profit from GOD'S CREATIVE GENIUS and has used DECEPTION to trick those with talent into diverging from GOD'S PLAN.  Many have become WICKED AND EVIL to the point that they COMMIT HORRIFIC ACTS AGAINST HUMANITY.   As a result, GOD HAS CUT THEM OFF FROM HIS CREATIVITY.   This is why we are seeing bad, boring cookie cutter copies.  Entertainment, including music, movies/tv, books, has gone to HELL in the proverbial hand basket.  Gangster rap, for example, is NOT MUSIC FROM GOD.  It is satan's design to inject filth and violence into GOD's CREATION.  Likewise, THE MONEY that the stars and the father of faulty copies (aka satan) were making FROM GOD'S CREATIVITY HAS BEEN CUT OFF.  In many cases, instead of repenting and asking for forgiveness, those on the precarious path of satan are DOUBLING DOWN on their HORRIFIC ACTS AGAINST HUMANITY. They are on the DEATH SPIRAL, which will not end well for them.  The wicked need TO STOP IMMEDIATELY, REPENT and BEG GOD FOR FORGIVENESS for their CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.  THIS IS THEIR ONLY PATH FORWARD.  THEY WILL FACE JUDGEMENT, but this is likely better for them than the alternative. satan cannot create.  he cannot help anyone who has diverged from GOD'S PLAN.  GOD IS LOVE.  GOD IS MERCIFUL.  WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?
