Music is very important to me. I listen to music throughout
the day multiple times. It helps me get through my day. I’m the type of person
who does not know how to express what I’m feeling to others. I can try and put
it into words and fail completely. There is some music that expresses what I’m
feeling so well, whether it’s the lyrical pattern or the words.
Music has power. It has the power to dictate the meaning of
life to some. It has the power to turn heads. It has the power to produce tears and
laughter. If you feel nothing, music can make you feel something.
I’m definitely not one to cry or be very emotional at all,
however, the message in music or the tone in a song has made me cry a time or
two. I attended a wedding not too long ago and when the bride walked in, the
song that was playing fit so perfectly. Not a single person could take their
eyes off of the bride. The song was perfect for her walking down the aisle. It
produced oohs and ahh’s, and tears for many. It was almost as if, in that
moment, you could picture their new life together as it would be in 50 years.
This is the power of music. There are other times in church or functions
surrounded by other believers when a particular song that expresses every frustration
in your life brings you to tears because you know that God is speaking to you
through that song. This is the power in music. There are so many times in my
life when I can do nothing but listen to music. I need to get away and just sit
alone and listen to music. It helps me get me get my thoughts together. No
talking, just me, God, and my music. I can have an impossible task before me,
but after I listen to music and have time to think it over with God, I know
what I have to do.
I don’t expect everyone to understand the power in music.
Some people just aren't music people, as sad as it may be. I believe that music
is a beautiful gift from God because He knows that sometimes we just don’t know
what to say. Sometimes we need to hear from Him, and music is just one way that
we can do that. I feel more at peace when I have time to just listen to music
and hear from God.
Try and hear from God in the musical messages He may be
sending. <3
