The Performance

I waited patiently for the performance.  I have been looking forward to it.  It had been years.  As I sat, I watched the crowd around me and thought of those I wished were here to share this with.  They were not next to me.  It was not meant to be.  My heart grieved for their absence, and the dreams that were never fulfilled. 

The music began playing.  With every soloist words, and every note played, my heart was being transformed.  The joy of hearing scripture not only sang, but fulfilled, restored my saddened soul.  My Lord revived me again.  There is hope!  For in the nearness of the Lord you live his goodness.  I always stand amazed at the beauty of Handel’s Messiah, however, it does not compare to the beauty of my Lord.  May His Name be praised!
