If you're a Christian and an artist pursuing a career in the art field, why not pursue God first and ask why He gave you the gift you have? There are no two gifts that are alike, so we're pretty safe in knowing that we have a unique and specific calling. Don't you want to know what that is? We will never be satisfied in our creative endeavors until we are in alignment with what God wants to do with that gift. When we stop trying to make a name for ourselves is when God can finally do His work through us. Who knows, maybe you were created to be the next C. S. Lewis or Rembrandt of our generation? But until we sacrifice our desires for what God's plans are will we ever become truly fulfilled and successful.
