HOW to DESIGN for OTHERS

 

2 Corinthians 1:12

King James Version

12 For our rejoicing is this, 

the testimony of our conscience, 

that in simplicity and godly sincerity, 

not with fleshly wisdom, 

but by the grace of God, 

we have had our conversation in the world, 

and more abundantly to you-ward.


Designing with GOD is about principles.

Stuff that conforms to His laws.

Without which, our creations would be just vanity.

With GOD, there is purity, perfection, and precision.

Having been trained in Architecture, I got to know about precision.

We had to be exact with measurements.

But only through the SPIRIT of GOD can we have real purity, perfection, and perfection.

Man doesn't have such capability.

With man, there's ego, pride, greed, lust, and vanity.

Designing with GOD means you forgo such abominations.

When designing for people, we design with love and care.

We design with GOD in mind.

We do not build structures as monuments for self.

Although many leaders do that.

GOD doesn't want anything to be honored that way.

Exodus 20:4-5

King James Version

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, 

or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, 

or that is in the earth beneath, 

or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, 

nor serve them: 

for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, 

visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children 

unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;


Designing for others means you honor GOD first.

And that you work with those who honor GOD, too.

If it's for self-aggrandizement, we born again designers must say no.

Our souls are not for sale, at any price.

We serve GOD alone.
