Last night my team and another team who we’re with this month all came together to have a little worship service. Worship is one of my favorite ways to interact with God. It’s so intimate and lovely. So last night when we were singing along, I was enjoying resting in the presence of the Holy Spirit. I had my head down and was seeking out the company of God when I thought of a piano.
Hmm, a piano? Okay God, what about a piano?
As I sat there and continued to press deeper into that thought, God revealed a really cool thought to me. He told me that I’m like a piano and He’s the pianist. And when someone is playing a beautiful song on a piano, two things are apparent.
- The piano is making the beautiful sound that you hear.
- The one responsible for the song and the one who gets the credit is the pianist.
God told me that He’s been spending a lot of time playing beautiful music, but just like in all aspects, He has so much more to offer that my mind can’t even fathom. God knows my heart and knows that in the past I have struggled with not wanting to be seen as doing great things because I weirdly get embarrassed or feel weird getting credit for something, but He reminded me that when I just rest in being myself and let Him use me, it will be more beautiful than anything I’ve ever recognized and it will be obvious to everyone around me that the reason I’m pouring out a symphony of love is because of the One who is making the music.
It’s crazy to me to think that the amount of goodness I can expel into this world is directly connected to the ability of GOD. It’s simultaneously full of love and force. I know God showed me this last night for myself, but I thought maybe even one person reading this may have needed this reminder. Anything you do or say or think that is good, loving, or beautiful is still coming out of you, but it’s only because God has his hands on your heart, playing away.
I know God has so many plans to use me this year, and I know I’m going to continue on The World Race until next June. With that being said, I am still in need of $3,142 to meet my final deadline in January. If you feel led to give any amount, I would more than appreciate it! There is a “support me” link that you can click and give online. Any support is appreciated, whether it’s financial or prayer for me in this season of my life. Thanks for reading.
