Behind The Scenes - Music

Linking up with Crystal Stein and the girls today

I saw the post. And as I was driving to return the last of what remained from a door that He shut, my heart was heavy. And so it was in that moment He asked me to give it away. And I cried.

Why? Do I really have to loose everything? And His words were very clear in my heart.....what good is an instrument hidden away on a shelf? No one can hear the music it was created to make. Nothing else can do what it was created for.... 

And it was more about me and what He is asking of me than what He was asking me to part with. What good am I if I hide away, being safe and hidden when really what He created me for calls for something entirely different. The music of my life is what will draw others to Him, the music of my life is what harmonizes with others to make something beautiful that no one instrument could ever do alone.  But each has a part.  And each has to make the music it was created for.  Not my sisters or my friends, but my own. And none of that can happen when we are locked up.  Sure we are "safe" from wear and tear and dust and breaking.  But in that safety, we loose our sound, we decay, we become brittle and of no use at all.  So today, I'll make the music He created in my heart.  Even if it's rusty and a little out of tune.  Thankful.
