The pianist’s nimble fingers flew with apparent ease across
the keyboard as she breathed vigour and life into the explosions of notes. Written
long ago, the music of Chopin and Bach, Beethoven and Britten sparkled in her
interpretations.
We were an intimate gathering, a select few, and she was a
star, giving us a glimpse of heaven, so with each conclusion the applause reddened
the palms of the audience, eager to show our appreciation of the technique and
talent, embarrassed at the poor numbers. Another hangover from Covid lockdowns?
Or a sign of the soaring cost of living? Where was everybody?
No-one lights a lamp and covers it under a bowl, Jesus
taught. Instead, it is put on a lampstand or a hill, where it can give light,
where it can shine and reveal the beauty of the one who is the light of the
world.
The renowned pianist revealed the light within her
magnificently. She was given a talent and she shared it with all who would
listen.
Jesus has lit a light in every believer. I may not be a
talented musician, but I pray that the one who is the light of the world will
shine through my every encounter today.
