Picture arriving at a recital for a world class orchestra......with one little problem, the conductor is missing. Somehow I just don't think you're going to hear a beautiful performance this knight. Does that mean that the individual musicians don't know their part? No, if asked to do so I'm sure every one of them could deliver a great performance.
The problem is not with the skill of the performers but with the loss of the unifying force the conductor brings. Great music demands great direction. 1 Corinthians 13 paints a similar picture, for it tells us that without love our gift, talent, ministry or vocation is like a clanging cymbal just making a noise.
When the perfecting force of love is not present in what we do, the music of our lives just can't be played with meaning. Will you allow love to direct the music of your life?
