“Sorrow, sadness, yearning, hope, and love belong to all of us, in all times and in all places. Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality.”
~ H.A. Overstreet ~
Music is a language for the world. It unites people, cultures, and religions. Music points people beyond themselves, while at the same time breathing God’s glory through them. Music makes us wonder, enables us to dream, and allows us to rest in the miracle of creativity.
Drugs stopped me from appreciating the music. They corrupted sounds and made them destructive. Drugs left me with a feeling of utter emptiness.
In recovery, I can hear again. My spiritual program incorporates music—different types of music and the inexhaustible joys of melody. I feel in it, through it, with it—another miracle.
Thank You for the gift of music that enables me to grow in understanding.
