Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
~ Genesis 2:7
I believe that we can see God's artistry reflected in everything, including people! For one thing, we are all unique, that's why we all look and act different from one another. Most individuals, when they think of God's artistry in people, probably think of more possitive acts that are committed. But also we need to keep in mind that God not only reveals himself in acts of kindness, but also can show his wrathful side, especially when we disobey him. We too, as humans, can treat other people with either kindness or with cruelty. As a Christian, I know that God would want us all to treat each other with loving kindness, even if we are at odds with someone; we must "love our enemies" as the scriptures teach us.
One major thing I can see God's work in people is when a inbdividual is compassionate. Whether that means that they help someone out on a project or if they share something with another person, or if they love someone and care for them so much that they put themselves last before even worrying about their own needs. Another way to see God's artistry in individuals is by observing the talents one has. You could be a good musician, or you can be realy good at writing papers, and maybe even be a good speaker at a large conference. I know I've heard people say "I don't have any talent whatsoever." But. I don't believe that's the case. We are all good at doing something, whether it's in the arts, sciences, or maybe we're just good at using our hands! We are all able to do something in life because God has made it possible. We can do anything that our heart desires if we just put our minds to it..
