“Because you
belong to me, God speaks to my heart, “I know you intimately. You are my
instrument, and I long to make melodious music in your life. I long to play the
music of my love through you. Your music is not my music. Your music rises from
self, but my music rises from the love of my sacrifice. It is complete, and
never fails. It is honest, and never fabricates. It is pure and never clouded
with earthy judgment. I make harmony of which you make such discord. My music
played in your life sounds hope in the ears of those you have no power to impact
for me.
“Through your life
I have the power to reach those you have failed‒ones you have misjudged and ones
of whom you have thought less. Your self judges, and because of that you have no
power to impact lives. You have placed yourself in the way of what I am able to
do through a yielded life.
“Yield your life
to me, and allow me to bring my harmony into your life. It will flow, rich and
free, through your life and into lives of others. Don't allow the discordant
failures of your life to hold you back. Because you desire all of me now, and
because you know me as your Lord, your failures are mine. They are no longer
yours. It is my purpose to bear them, and to make all things new.
“'My heart, O God,
is steadfast,' my servant, David, proclaimed. 'I will sing and make music'
(Psalm 57:7, NIV). Even during the darkest of days, David allowed His music to
be my music. You, just like my servant, David, are also my instrument. Through
your life, I will make music that speaks to the souls of men and bids them
come.”
