Music is an art; it’s a melody, its sound. One of the first things kids learn to do is dance to music. This is no coincidence though; it’s the way God created us. It’s the way He designed us. God created us as musical beings; He created us to make music for Him

Over the years I’ve come to realize that there is a lot more to music than meets the eye. I can worship God while at work as I hum my very favorite worship song. There is absolutely nothing wrong in singing your favorite song to God, one that an artist inspired by God wrote. Hear me out though, how awesome would it be to write your own song to God? If God gave us these creative minds and abilities why not put them to use? I like to write songs and put music to them. This is one of my favorite things to do for God. I figure if someone can right everyday about how much they love a boy and how he doesn’t love her back, why can’t we write songs to God everyday and share those? A song that will help someone get closer to God when they are going through the most difficult of situations.

So write Him a special song, doesn’t have to be something elaborate or complicated. Just something that comes from the heart. Share this song with your church and your friends and let God use you musically. Here are 5 verses that speak of this:
1. Psalm 40:3
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD. (NIV)
2. Psalm 96:1
Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Psalm 96:1-3 (NIV)
3. Psalm 98:1
Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.
Psalm 98:1-3 (NIV)
4. Psalm 144:9
I will sing a new song to you, O God; on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you, (NIV)
5. Psalm 33:3
Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. (NIV)

“Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth,  and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

He created us in His image.  God doesn’t make trash.  When He takes time to create things, He makes things that are good.  People might look down on you because of your color, race, weight or whatever reason they can find, but God sees in you Himself!  You are not just anybody.  You were created in His image! Your identity is found in God.  He only sees the best in us.  And the main reason He sees the best in us is because of His Son, Jesus who lives inside of us. 

God doesn’t judge us according to our outward appearances.  He looks at what’s in the heart.  There is a song that Delirious wrote called King or Cripple, one of the verses says:

“I’d love to hold the hand of one who healed the blind
And saw the leper run into the arms of love
And king or cripple, they were the same to you
You took a broken man and you treat him like a king”

Jesus never saw people as second class citizens.  If we are to be like Christ, then we need to treat others like Jesus did.  Don’t walk in shame or with low self-esteem, view yourself as God sees you.  There is greatness in you.  God deposited the best in you.   When people talk bad about you, that’s not what God says.  God sees His image in you.  Lift up your head and walk like a true child of the King!  There is no other person like you! 

Listen to this song to lift up your spirits.
