I read a delightful little book found at the library called,
The Penny Whistle by B.J. Hoff. It is a book about hope.
Below is a little portion that touched my heart.
***
“The music of life is within you.
Not in the world,
not in circumstances or external things . . .
and not in an instrument.
You are the instrument,
and I am the music.
Whatever road you walk in this life,
it is because I have set your feet upon it.
Whatever road you walk in this life,
it is because I have set your feet upon it.
Whatever trials you encounter,
whatever struggles you endure,
your joys, your sorrows . . .
these, too, are My will.
I would have you,
through the life you live with Me,
show that the music of life is within,
not without . . .
that it comes from Me.
I am your Hope . . .
your Strength . . .
your Song.
I, the Lord, am your Music.
