Not everyone gets a major opportunity twice. In this video, a piano teacher Sam Moss, gets a second chance at an audition thanks to judge Katy Perry.
At the start of this video, Luke says, “Here we go, after a month, Katy’s wish came true.” There is celebration as a young woman with red hair in a hat walks in. Sam shares that she auditioned in Austin and it didn't go as she hoped. She wanted to show who she was but nerves got the best of her. She tears up. Sam says that this time she is going to sing a song that she wrote.
Sam sings beautifully. Her lyrics are heartfelt, not necessarily clean, but she gives a great performance. There is a depth and richness to her voice. Katy puts on a shirt in her honor and the judges stand clapping for her.
The judges all encourage her that she is a talented songwriter. When asked why she did not do that song the last time, she says that she was trying to be who they wanted her to be. They said that they want her to be herself. All three judges give her a yes.
The visual of a second chance reminds us of our own selves. God gave us a second chance after we sinned in the garden. Jesus came down and redeemed us back to God. This is not because we deserve it, but out of His great love and grace for us.
"All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.” 2 Corinthians 5:19-20
