The Christian Music I Listen To

I wish that everyone would give Christian music a listening chance. It has changed my life. I first learned of the music in 1990 when my best friend from high school and her family invited me to a Christian music festival called Fishnet. That festival has helped to make me the person I am today. I had one of the best summers of my life that year. Ever since then, I have gotten a pretty good Christian music collection. Some of my Christian music is inspirational, some of it is pop, praise and worship, rap, rock and yes, even country. I really love my music, I truly enjoy listening to it. It helps me, it lifts me up. It reminds me of the great faith I have. It builds my faith up and it is definitely strengthened. God is really present to me in Christian music. Through this music, God reaches me. He shows me that He loves me, that I am worthy of His love and His forgiveness. He teaches me how to live my life. He shows me how to love other people and how to forgive them, and to be patient. It is a nice break when I don't feel like listening to the secular music that often is not always that uplifting. I went to another Christian music festival called Creation, a couple of times. These festivals give me a chance to listen to new bands playing for God. If I like them, I get their music to add to my collection. This kind of music means so much to me. I try to share my music with other people so they can get the message of God's love too. The artists seem to be real too. They're willing to share a part of their personal lives as well as their music talents to build up the kingdom for our All-Mighty God.
