Cords of the Heart
Cords of the Heart. There are cords in our heart. These cords are like guitar strings which can be tuned and are tuned according to the sound of the song our heart hears. This can be a song of hopelessness without meaning or it can be a song which comes from heaven. As we tune our heart strings to the sound of heaven, we find ourselves playing in a great orchestra where God is the conductor and we get to play in unison with many others. As we read books from saints of the past, we can pick up playing the same songs they played. We can improvise and give their songs a personal touch. As we do this, there are times when it is no longer just our fingers playing the music, but the fingers of the creator of the world is playing. The fingers of the one whose hands were pierced begin to play with our hands. It is no longer just our voice that sings, but the spirit of God who blows through the sound pipes of our lungs. Stillness is no longer empty, but full of life, meaning, faith, hope,
