The Piano Story
Wishing to encourage her young son's progress on the piano, a
mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated, the
mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to
greet her.
Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert
hall, the little boy rose and eventually explored his way through a door
marked "NO ADMITTANCE." When the house lights dimmed and the concert was
about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the
child was missing.
Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the
impressive Steinway on stage. In horror, the mother saw her little boy
sitting at the keyboard, innocently picking out "Twinkle, Twinkle Little
Star." At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly
moved to the piano, and whispered in he boy's ear, "Don't quit.
Keep playing."
Then leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and
began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the
other side of the child and he added a running obligatio. Together, the
old master and the young novice transformed a frightening situation
into a wonderfully creative experience. The audience was mesmerized.
That's the way it is with our Heavenly Father. What we can
accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best, but the
results aren't exactly graceful flowing music.
But with the hand of the Master, our life's work truly can be beautiful.
Next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully.
You can hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, "Don't
quit. Keep playing." Feel His loving arms around you. Know that His
strong hands are there helping you turn your feeble attempts into true
masterpieces.
Remember, God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called.
And He'll always be there to love and guide you on to great things.
