One of the greatest gifts God has given every one of us has been music for all places and purposes. The imagination and ingenuity to create different styles of sound, with a variety of instruments, using air from our lungs, lips and larynx, the striking of our hands and feet, as well as our fingers to strum, stroke or pluck strings or drum heads.
Equipped with this special gift, God has created in our mind a multitude of sounds, tempo and lyrics to stir an emotion from every experience in life and most interestingly to focus us on each experience, with a memorable inspiration, whether it be romantic love, a call to battle, or pride in country each one, actually an emotion of love brought to mind most clearly through the sound, tempo and lyrics of each musical creation.
So in reality, each one of us has an inner sense of music, be we a novice at the entry level or not, we have the ability to bring a light to the world, or at the least to those around us. This is a calling from God that we not only should, but must respond with the God-given talents or skills to bring light to those whom we meet each day, regardless of our environment or circumstance.
But, back to music and your special role in it that you truly give it your best a calling of sorts, requiring practice and the boring repetition of playing the same notes over and over, until they become "natural" to us and entertaining for others who listen to your special creation of music.
So you are encouraged to listen for the special drumbeat of your musical calling and stand ready to respond to that calling to your upmost.
