Wishing to encourage her young son's progress on the 
piano, a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert. 
After they were seated, the mother spotted a friend in 
the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her.
 
Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the 
concert hall, the little boy rose and eventually explored 
his way through a door marked "NO ADMITTANCE." 
When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about 
to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered 
that the child was missing. Suddenly, the curtains parted 
and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on 
stage. In horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting 
at the keyboard, innocently picking out 
"Twinkle,Twinkle Little Star."
  
At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, 
quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boy's ear, 
"Don't quit. Keep playing." Then leaning over Paderewski 
reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass 
part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side 
of the child and he added a running obligatio. Together, the 
old master and the young novice transformed a frightening 
situation into a wonderfully creative experience.The audience 
was mesmerized. That's the way it is with our Heavenly Father. 
What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We 
try our best, but the results aren't exactly graceful flowing music.


But with the hand of the Master, our life's work truly can be
beautiful. Next time you set out to accomplish great feats, 
listen carefully. You can hear the voice of the Master, 
whispering in your ear "Don't quit. Keep playing." Feel His 
loving arms around you. Know that His strong hands are there 
helping you turn your feeble attempts into true masterpieces. 
Remember, God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called. 
And He'll always be there to love and guide you on to great
things.
