Thought Quotient

I found this on the Family Life website…

The story is told of a man who lived centuries ago in Italy who was a maker of violins. He made it a rule that no violin would ever leave his shop until it was as nearly perfect as human care could make it.

He used to say, “God needs violins to send His music into the world. And if my violins are defective, God’s music will be spoiled. Other men will make other violins, but no man shall make a better one.” That man was Antonio Stradivari, maker of what are still considered the world’s finest instruments.

One final thought. We also are God’s instruments created to honor God. We should live lives without defect, so as not to spoil the music that God wants to play through us.
