It takes one to know one; and dreamers
often dreamed of an unreachable star and fail.
For many years, he strives to reach his goal; until that day when he feels that time is not by his side and he has to give up his wished air castle. At least in this lifetime, for he knew that there are many lifetimes as there are endless dreams. Life and love, is an endless journey. What is a lifetime compared to eternity; probably, like a drop of water in an endless sea. Dreamers like him can be a stubborn nutshell. What is life without a purpose, especially when that purpose is to serve a loving Father.
Merciful Providence has a way of fulfilling one's desire. One day, he found out that somebody actually reach his desired aspiration. The task that he took upon himself was carried upon. And he was astound by the way it was done for it is even better than what he dreamed of. And he is certain that no one could have done it without blessing, empowerment, and intervention from Above. The task cannot be entrusted to just anyone, and most probably, he was not allowed to finish the job because he is still unfit to work for such a pious undertaking. Nevertheless, he is joyful; for his objective was nonetheless achieved.
What is in a song that can make us stop, think, listen, smile, or cry? Life is an individual journey and hearts vibrate differently. I can tell you why and how my heart reacts to a song, but I cannot tell you to feel the same. Does it matter whether the song was sung by a sinner or a saint? And what is more important, the singer or the song?
Being a sinner, as long as the song or the singer is not offensive to Godliness, I have no much concern whether the song was sung by a sinner or a saint. For me, the song is more important than the singer; the sweetest songs of holiness are written by sinners who are longing for paradise; and I certainly believe, that only those who thought that they are angels are afraid to be contaminated by the tones of one who is from the other side.
"If you know the Father you will know me because I come from Him." We know the tree by its fruit, and we know the singer by his song. How could we know the status of a person if we do not know his roots and where he is coming from, We would not know the taste of his fruits, we do not know his friends, and we do not know his song?
He admit that he doesn't know the person; and because of that, even though she is singing a pious melody and with a voice of an angel, he said, "Beware, she might be a sinner". But what if she is from The Father and the song she is singing is from Him? Which I believe it is. What we do not know won't harm nor help us; and our ignorance will hinder us to taste neither sweet joy nor bitter pain. I was told that in loves realm, the farthest among the chain enjoys the most; the most fallen takes all the remnants. We are told to discern, and so far, what I'm hearing is pleasing to my ears. And most of the time, I discern not by my brain but of my heart.
