I hope you enjoy this song, and performance as much as I did...
We all have "strings that need mending, out of tune in certain parts." When
we become Christians, God makes us different on the inside. He is the
Creator of all that is lovely, and when He writes a tune upon our
hearts, we should sound like a beautifully tuned guitar.
The bible tells us in Matthew 15:8,
"These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from
Me." We could put on a good religious front, but the way we are deep
down, where others can't see, matters very much to God. He sees all, and
knows all. "For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks." (Luke 6:45). Jesus
reminds us here, that our speech and our actions reveal what we believe
deep down. It shows itself in our behavior.
It
should be our desire to show the whole world how much Jesus has done
for us. When He strums our life with His chords of mercy, restores our
soul completely, and lays His hands upon us, He becomes the lyric that
just doesn't stop at our ears, but becomes the music that flows from our
thankful hearts. When Jesus becomes our all in all, what we
have learned from Him, should go beyond our ears, and is just stored in
our heads. It should go much deeper and further than that. Like anything
we practice at, practice makes perfect. God wants us to be with Him daily, practicing to be
made perfect. He opens our, "minds to understand the scriptures." (Luke 24:45).
I
personally don't want to just read the scriptures. I want them to
change me inside and out. It's our personal choice to have as much of
Jesus as we want. He will not push Himself on us. But once you TRULY
have an inward taste of the truth, of how much the grace of our Lord
Jesus cost, the melody within your soul will show a changed life.
I pray that we allow the Master to create His masterpiece in, and through us. To tune us up whenever we are in need of it.
