“Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous – how well I know it.” (Psalm 139:14, NLT)
“Antonio Stradivari was a seventeenth-century violin maker whose name in its Latin form, Stradivarius, has become synonymous with excellence.
Certain gifts were given to that craftsman that no other violin maker possessed.
In that same vein, there are certain things you can do that no one else can. Perhaps it is parenting, or constructing houses, or encouraging the discouraged. There are things that only you can do, and you are alive to do them. In the great orchestra we call life, you have an instrument and a song, and you owe it to God to play them both sublimely.”

Thank you for sharing these lovely thoughts from Max on our calling and vocation. Trusting Him today that the “notes” I play on the instrument of God’s gifting will be a sweet song in His ears.
I am thankful God gives each of us unique gifts. I pray I am using those God given gifts to bring others closer to Him.
This is the second time today that I’ve been reminded that I’m to use my unique gifts for the Lord. Hmmm.
As a musician and music lover, this spoke to me in a special way. What a lovely reminder for each of us to be faithful and obedient to the part God has called us to play.
