Ecclesiastes 12:14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.
Johann Sebastian Bach took pieces of his soul and made masterpieces out of them.
But he wasn't David.
William Shakespeare took pieces of his heart and stole the hearts of multitudes.
But he wasn't Solomon.
George Washington took pieces of land and lives and made a most powerful nation out of them.
But he wasn't Adam.
Any one of us may have mustard-seed faith, small as it may be, and may be able to move a mountain.
But not one of us are The Creator of those mountains.
So, do we pass up the chance to create?
Hardly!
We take pieces of our souls and pieces of our hearts and pieces of our lives, and we pattern them after The Alpha.
We may not be God, but we were created in the image of The First.
Let us take our creative gifts to the altar of thanksgiving, giving honor to The Giver of Gifts.
Then, let us use them to create!
Whether or not we leave a Bach-sized legacy is beside the point;
It will be The Omega who, being The Last, will judge every deed -- good, bad, or mediocre.
He may not expect perfection.
But it could be that He expects our personal best.
I could be wrong. (I wouldn't be the first and it wouldn't be my first time.)
But I'm not taking any chances.
I'm sorry, but I most sincerely think I've yet to give you my best.
The I Am is still teaching me.
Lord, I’m more than just satisfied with everything You’ve given me.
Help me use it in such a way that it will glorify You.
In the name of The Author (and The Finisher of my faith),
Jesus, of whom I desire most to be a reflection.
(No wonder You’ve called me an author!)
Amen.
