Making Music

Rhythm. There are many elements to music, but rhythm for sure is one of the most important ones; specially when different instruments are trying to play together. Last night we had a speaker talk about the rhythm of life and how sometimes our journey seems to lead us to quietness and others to act loud! So true! There's the routine of things, the meals, the work; and then there are those moments of crescendo where you feel like all eyes are turning towards you and waiting for the song inside you to be freed.

In the middle of this speaker's message I realized that not only do we live life in different rhythms but, as others do as well, together we create a melody, with God as the director. He's the only One who truly knows how it all works out. He's the one that can lead the base to a slower tempo, while increasing the intensity of the flutes, or the violin; and that's just how it all works out. We don't all live at the same rhythm. Actually most of the times our lives seem to be going at a very different pace from the ones of those around us; and that's just perfect! We only need to set our eyes on the Director, to follow His lead and open our ears to the music that we're creating together. The more we stop comparing ourselves to the other musicians, the more we can focus on our part, and make the orchestra sound all the better. He's such a Master Composer. Just follow the lead. Look at Him in the eyes, and open your ears. It's beautiful!
