But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.
1 Peter 3:15
In deciding what to post this month, I realized my perfectionism paralysis about posting my violin recordings was NOT the meekness and fear Peter is talking about. When I play the violin for people, it is one way I share hope and testimony, but probably never perfection.
The memory of playing this song with Daniel is perfect. We played this in 2016 in church and also in people’s homes that Christmas. I have sweet memories of Daniel and me loading and unloading his keyboard into the trunk to carry it through the snow into homes of the elderly in the neighborhood so we could play this song. I cherish those moments with my friends that I will not have this year, but at least now I have a link I can share with them. I think Peter is asking us to be be brave and give, right through our fears.
