Power in Contrast

Have you ever noticed the power in contrast?

I noticed this week, that while the organ can be a very powerful instrument, when it is silenced, and the congregation sings a capella, the silence is even more powerful.

When you frame a close up picture, and the foreground is in focus while the background is fuzzy, that the picture will be better if the background is a different color than the foreground.

I'm not sure why I mention this, but is there power in contrast in our lives? Is there power in silence when everyone else is talking? Is there power in love when everyone else is hating? Is there power in forgiveness when everyone else is angry?

Tired. Going to sleep.
