Find Yourself In Music

Music is the expression of one’s deepest emotions that are, in every sense, beyond words. Her rhythmic strokes weave easily into yearning ears and slowly but surely, into the innermost being of every listener. This simple wavelike beauty becomes magical for those who understand its language.

The beautiful reality is this: Music is created especially for us. From the rhythmic beep of the train every morning to the melodious cluck of the stilettos in Shenton Way, we are created to appreciate and find pleasure in it. Music, in its simple way, moves us. Its sparkle extends even into our lives. Not only is it an avenue where we seek solace and convey our delight in, it is also one where we learn to express ourselves in.

We are indeed, what we listen to. The kind of music that we relate to is very telling of who we are. Many teenagers like you and I express our identity and individuality through music and often, it is this identity that is truest to our self. In music, there is no need to pretend or put on a mask; we are free to express ourselves in the ways we want to. The best thing is that no one person interprets the same piece of music the same way. Through music, we find our uniqueness and personality.

Music is essentially a channel where we discover ourselves, a creation for us to conduct our search for our destiny in life. This meticulous and thoughtful medium can only be created by someone as loving as God. The Creator of the world, He has also produced such breathtaking complexities that will one day, capture many wandering hearts and become a signpost to many lost entities. All the intricacies of music are there to direct us to His beauty and His splendor. The magnitude of God’s love has propelled Him to create music for us to find Him in.

Music. It is undeniably a language. It is a language of God’s love for you.
Do you hear it?

在音乐中找寻自我

音乐可以表达我们内心最深处的情感。
音乐是一个独特的语言。
音乐的节奏飘落到每一位听众的耳中,再渗入心灵的最深处。
音乐带给知音人的魅力确实是超越一切言语。

最美好的现实就是:音乐是特别为我们所创造的。
无论是每日早晨听见地铁的哔哔声,或是高跟鞋的嗒嗒声,我们都可享受并欣赏这些美妙的声音。

音乐可以带给我们很简单的感动,深深地触动我们的生命。
音乐不止能安抚我们的伤痛,也能传达我们的喜悦,更能使我们学会表达心声。

我们喜欢的音乐跟我们的个性是息息相关的。
人们往往可以从我们喜欢的音乐来了解我们。
许多青少年就如同你和我一样,借助音乐来表达自己的个性。
很多时候,这竟是我们内心深处最真实的个性。

在音乐的世界里,我们无需掩饰自己或戴上任何面具,可以自由自在地表现自己。最好的是:不同人对相同一首音乐的理解都是完全不一样的。
通过音乐,我们确实可以找到自己独有的个性。

音乐可以引导我们找寻到自我。
音乐也可以让我们找寻到自己生命中真正命定。
音乐如此精确又细腻地指引我们,只能出自于一位深深爱着我们的创造者-神。

神创造了宇宙万物,又创造出美妙的音符。
这些美妙的音符如此动人,如此扣人心弦,让我们尝到创造者伟大的心思和爱。
这些美妙的音符有朝一日必定指引每颗流浪的心归向音符的创造者。
我们的创造者通过音乐,让我们在音乐的世界里,寻找到这世界的创造者-深爱我们的神。

无可否认,音乐是一个独特的语言。音乐藏着神爱我们的语言。
这么神奇的语言,你听见了吗?
