There
is the one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one
hope that belongs to your call, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one
God and Father of us all, who is above all and through and in all.
Ephesians
4:4-6
When a composer composes a great musical work, he uses three
essential elements to create his work. These elements are rhythm,
melody, and harmony. God is the composer and creator of our lives. We
are each one of his masterpieces. Like the composer, he provides our
lives with a sense of rhythm, melody, and harmony.
Rhythm gives our lives a beat and a pulse. We sense this rhythm daily
as we go about living and doing our tasks. We find rhythm in our
energy and emotion. It keeps us moving, living, and feeling. The
source of this rhythm is God. We sense this rhythm in changing of
seasons, the rising and setting of the sun and day following night.
Yes, life has a rhythm and a beat. It is part of us all.
Melody is the song of life. We each have a song to sing and a story
to tell. Our melody or song lets the world know who we are. It
identifies us as a unique creation – there's no one else like us.
God gives us each a song to sing. He loves all of us. We all have a
different song to sing, but our song is important to him and our
fellow human beings.
Harmony is when all the notes in a musical work blend together to
create a beautiful sound. God's creation is his musical work. Each of
us are like a single note in his musical masterpiece. But when we
blend our note in unison with our fellow human beings we make a
beautiful song.
We cannot live alone. Like the notes in a symphony we have to sound
together in harmony to complete God's musical masterpiece.
Oh God,
grant that we may live in harmony with you and our fellow human
beings. Let our song be one of Joy and Praise to you. Amen.
Loraine Piesko (1994)
