There is something about music that touches the intangible spots in me; that speaks to the deaf parts of my being; yet connects in a way completely unexplainable. Imagine an impregnable fortress that no object could penetrate. Then, all of a sudden, there was a being that could walk through all the barriers and blockades.
Christ is the only one who could save my soul; no one else could even begin to save me and love me the way he does. In the same way, nothing speaks to my creative self the way music does. I am gratefully left speechless when I allow music to wash over me, wave after wave. It erodes the reality around me until I am finally able to escape. I am never able to think as clearly as when he provides a melody, natural or created, directly or indirectly, expressly for me. He reminds me that there is so much more than what I can see; so much more then the here and now.
My creativity is never as motivated as when I let him inspire me wholly. I can’t let him go. I must cling to him, he is my god. He is my God. He must be my reason for living. He must be my daily motivation. I must follow him. He is not simply a part of my life but my life is simply a part of his plan. It is not mine and there is so little time. I will live for him when I get to my real home because it will be easy; I must live make the hard decisions to follow him now. I must grasp the opportunity of life that he has given me. I am uniquely equipped to do what he has for me; he will have other take my place if I fall away, but none will be able to do it like I would. I will make the hard decisions at the hard time to further his kingdom; I must, for if I do not praise him with my life, the very rocks will cry out worship to Him.
My old habits must break. My shell of sinful flesh will be overcome. My body is a sacred shine to him. He will not be ashamed of me. He has forgiven me. He will light my path and give me the strength to choose right. He alone will pick me up when I stumble. He will welcome me…on that glorious day…the day that every atom of my being longs for…the day I wait for with indescribable anticipation…he will look at me….I won’t speak but he will smile…I won’t move but he will hug me…we will cry tears of joy…I will finally be with my Father and Savior. His embrace will last…forever.
