Arthur Schnabel, a musician of the 20th century said:
Great music is composed better than it can be played.

The same can be said of Christianity! Only one has ever played the score perfectly and He was the composer!

Some people have done magnificiently; others seem to forget the score halfway through; Still others never get past the practice stage. Most players are just average, but the score as God wrote it, and as our Lord Himself lived it is the most beautiful the world has ever heard!

There was once a musician in a foreign country where God's music was not allowed to be played. Daily, he took out his score of Hnadel's "Messiah" and laid it on the dining room table. He moved his fingers silently and diligently through the entire score. He was making music that only God could hear.

Anything worth doing well takes practice! I listen to great pianists; watch great olympic athletes; hear about incredible surgeons. Then I think of years of practice that brought them to where they are!
