I've watched Angela's recording of the FNL band playing at Calvary Chapel at least 3 or 4 times now and I LOVE IT. It brings me so much joy. I know that at the most, I'm a year older than these guys, but I am so stinkin proud of them. I remember when most of these people started getting involved in leading worship. They have come so far! While I like to think I have a part in getting a couple of them to step out and get more involved, it wasn't me. And it wasn't them. Its God. He gave them talents and they were faithful to invest them -- they practice their instruments and take time to develop their musical skills -- so now He is being faithful to add to them. They have more opportunities to play for his glory. More people have the opportunity to see Christ in their music and their worship.
He'll do that with all of us. Just like the parable of the talents, when we wisely invest the talents that He's given us and take seriously the responsibilities that He's given us, he'll add to it. He'll give us more talent and more responsibility, and more blessing with it. So don't be afraid to step out, even if you don't have very much talent to begin with. The servant that the master gave only one talent to could have chosen to do something with them. Then he would have been added unto also. But he was scared, and all he had was taken away. Don't let that be you. Trust God with your talents. He's given them to you for a reason, and its NOT to bring yourself glory. Its to glorify God! So just trust Him and step out. Let Him take care of the details. =)
And really quick, I feel like a mom proud of her kids for Sunday night! You guys brought happy tears to my eyes ;)
