These are such beautiful words to live by. Sometimes I ask
myself “what would life be like for me as a Christian who dearly loves
Christian hymns and worship music - - - if I was to suddenly find that there
would not be any music anymore?” What a devastating thought that would
be. I have been on a musical journey for “many years” since about age
four. The love of music is so engrained into my soul. From dawn to dusk every
day, I am listening to music. My favorite genre is Christian music –
traditional and blended. I truly feel that God is speaking and moving through
me as I hear the songs! Such encouragement I have received while singing,
listening or playing the songs. I believe that God gives us all special
spiritual gifts. Mine is to play the piano or to sing. I have grown so much in
my spiritual development while being a member of Redeemer Church through being
involved in the 8:15 Chancel Choir and it has been so easy to get involved. We
meet on Thursday nights to practice and sing about two times a month on Sunday
mornings and special performances around holidays. It’s also great that we have
summers off to enjoy God’s beauty outside with family and friends. Now,
to answer my own question – what would I do without the wonderful world music
in my life? I don’t really know. The Holy Spirit consumes me and gives me my
main reason to live! Praise be to God!
Again, we rejoice - come before Him singing with joy. You
are warmly invited to join.
