My life in the hands of God is like a beat-up instrument in the hands of a gifted musician who knows how to play it and bring forth the most beautiful melodies from it. I may not look new. I may look like I’ve seen better days, but the sound God makes with my life is lovely. The angels stop and take notice of what God is playing with the strings of my life. I can’t believe what’s coming out of me and how something so extrordinary could come out of somebody that’s not all that special or unusual. I’m just me.

God can take your life that’s offered freely to Him and do miraculous things with it. He can take your mess and bring forth a stunnng masterpiece. He can take your broken heart and make it sing a song that catches the world by surprise. One that makes the people around you stop and listen. One that tells of a love story between God and His people and how God never gives up until He wins our hearts.

You are in good hands if you are in God’s hands.

There is no one God can’t use. There is no dark place God can’t shine His light in. There is no broken life God can’t turn into a testimony of His power and grace. There is no hopeless situation He can’t turn into a story that everyone wants to read. He did that already. It’s called the Bible.

I know that if God can play through me, He can play through anybody. He is fine-tuning me and every day I am more and more surprised at the melodies coming out of my life. I am just one person who is learning to surrender and trust that God knows what He’s doing. Nothing extraordinary. But God takes my brokenness and multiplies it to feed a multitude.

Just give God your life and let Him choose the song. You will be amazed at what comes forth. So will everyone around you. I truly believe that one person who is surrendered and available and willing can be the one person to start radical change in the world.

Amen and amen.
