And so.. I was down for bass playing last week. The guitarist for that week messaged the worship leader and cc-ed me that he's very sick and might not be able to play for both the rehearsal and the service and that I could take his place. My first response was: Argh!! I can't! I told them that I believe in giving my best when I serve so I didn't want to play without practice. Moreover, my acoustic guitar was at church so I couldn't even practise on Friday night. 

Then I was reminded of the last weekend when the cg visited gsmcc. There was only one guitarist who was also the worship leader. When he asked a guy if he could play the keys for the next few songs, he readily stepped forward and said that he would try his best. Though he wasn't very good, it was his willingness to step forward that touched my heart. So I decided to play the acoustic because they needed an acoustic guitarist more than a bassist. I guess it wasn't a coincidence that I experienced what happened at gsmcc.

Lesson learnt: I am playing not to let others hear how I sound like. I am playing because God can use the little I have to give and multiply it.
