Recently, our 6-year old daughter Emma has started playing the violin. I guess she had seen her teacher playing one, and ever since, she has been passionate about her "glass" instrument. She started walking around with a metal hanger and a bic pen, announcing that she was playing the violin! I guess a lot of kids have imaginary friends, and so this is just a little bit different-it's an imaginary instrument!
Eph. 5:19 talks about how Christians should be communicating with each other: With Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. We are to be singing too. And then the inside attitude that we are to possess is mentioned. We are to be "making melody with our hearts to the Lord".
What if the song playing inside our heart was one of sweet music, a silent melody that issued from happy Christlike joy and gratitude? You know, the music of a heart that isn't hung up on negative things and bitter feelings?
That would be incredible, sweet, and so refreshing. And it would prompt big smiles and joyous comments, just like it has with Emma. It would end up a great silent symphony of harmony among Christians!
