I think that music is a divine gift. we often have an image of God as
a cold, almost stoic and uninterested observer of all that happens
in the world. But God is the Creator, and in His creation you see
unbelievable detail, hints of His existence and engagement in
His creation everywhere you look. From the obvious grandeur of
mountains to the hidden intricacies of a single cell or of any living
thing, we see God in His creativity.
I think music allows us a small window into the true nature of
God. Because He knows us inside and out, music touches deep, inner
places that little else can. I can be emotionally flat-lined and hear
two lines of a song that reminds me of my four year-old daughter
and I’m in tears almost instantly. That to me is just as much proof
of the existence of God as the vastness of the ocean or the sky. He
created me to feel, to love, to experience Him and the life He has
for me. And He gifted me with music to help me along that journey
to get in touch with myself and with Him, and to share what I find
along the way with others.
