Each Has His Own Gift

Years ago I would often ask God about why He didn’t give me a lovely singing voice. It would have been wonderful to be created with a voice that can soar way up into the stratosphere.

I cannot sing any note beyond “re.” But I do love to sing and I love singing to my Lord. The Bible says to make a loud noise to the Lord—not a melodious noise—so, I sing really loud in church. And that is why my sons won’t sit next to me in worship services.

With the passing of years I’ve realized that God didn’t give me the ability to sing well so that I would listen more closely to His voice through songs sung by others. Moreover, so that I would listen wholeheartedly and allow my spirit to be lifted through His Word set to music.

God has made me realize that He completes me through gifts He has given others. And for that I am truly grateful.

Prayer: Father, thank you for music. Thank you that you created us all unique, each with his or her own gifts.
