Remember Jesus' response to the widow who offered her mite? God's heart was moved much more by the small "inadequate" gift of sacrifice of this woman than He was with the "bountiful" gift of those who gave with a selfish heart. So nothing, absolutely NOTHING, is meaningless to God if it is given with a heart that wishes to give Him all.

The next time your fellowship joins in to sing, don't be caught thinking, "I can't." What God hears you saying is, "I won't." Just know God delights in the praises of His people. Yes, I realize there are other ways to praise Him, and those should never be neglected either. But don't pass up the opportunity to use music which is itself, a gift of God, to wrap your words in an extra special package and lay them at the feet of our loving God. Believe it or not, you will be a blessing to those around you, when they see your willingness to praise God in spite of our shortcomings. SING OUT!
