Don’t be afraid to fill your heart with the people and things you love



AA023648
There was a man played piano in a bar. He was a good piano player. People came out just to hear him play. But one night, a patron told him he didn’t want to hear him just play anymore. He wanted him to sing a song.

The man said, “I don’t sing.”

But the customer was persistent. He told the bartender, “I’m tired of listening to the piano. I want that guy to sing!”

The bartender shouted across the room, “Hey buddy! If you want to get paid, sing a song. The patrons are asking you to sing!”

So he did. He sang a song. A piano player who had never sung in public did so for the very first time. And nobody had ever heard the song Mona, Mona Lisa sung the way it was sung that night by Nat King Cole!

He had talent he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar, but because he had to sing, he went on to become one of the best-known entertainers in America


Overheard outside a concert hall:
“What a singer! His voice filled the hall.”
“Yes, several of us had to leave the hall to make room for it!”

Overheard in a spiritual counselling session:
“How can I love the Creator as the Scriptures tell us to? How can I give Him my whole heart?”
“You must first empty your heart of all created things.”

Thats what I call - Misleading! Don’t be afraid to fill your heart with the people and things you love, for the love of the Creator won’t occupy space in your heart any more than a singer’s voice occupies space in a hall.
