Some people practice to learn a skill, and some people are born with natural talent. In this video, a self-taught pianist goes viral after playing a chilling tune on a public piano.
At the start of the video, the guy asks a girl in the airport if she knows how to play the piano, and she tells him that she does. He welcomes her over to come and play.
She begins to play beautifully to the soundtrack of Interstellar the movie. Everyone watches intently. She does a great job with tone painting and knows how to press into each melodic moment.
As she performs, people walk by and view her or listen on their way to their gates. Her two friends stand by watching and videoing.
The young woman is a high-level pianist who has integrity and intensity. She has the entire piece memorized. It is extremely impressive to watch her and hear her skills. She obviously has a love of the instrument and spends time enjoying it.
There is beauty in having a gift to share with the world. If we simply conceal it, no one else can see or hear it, but if we use our talents for the glory of God and for others to see, they can be used as platforms for sharing His love with the world. At the end of the video, the actual performer tells her, “well done.”
This unique moment of watching this young woman perform reminds us to not hide our skills from the world, but to allow the Lord to use them for His purposes.
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace.” 1 Peter 4:10
