Joshua 1:7-8 (KJV) - Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Like music, art takes both vulnerability and bravery. It takes guts to produce something so subjective as art. The old saying says, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder." Conversely, ugly is in the eyes of the beholder. It takes courage to defend the beauty of a piece that others have criticized as not worth the time.
I've often wondered why God made me a creative, subject to the criticism and rejection of my art, music, or writing. Seems like a "Type A" lion-type personality is more suited for the task. Yet here I am.
I wouldn't trade it for the world. I enjoy creating too much to quit.
Reminds me of a time many moons, and a couple of worship teams ago, when my bass playing was harshly criticized by a young drummer I worked with who had an axe to grind. He made it known that he didn't care for females who played such "manly" instruments, so I could never play to please him. My answer to his ire was always the same, "Well, God liked it."
That's good enough for me. So long as Daddy's happy, I'm happy.
Let the bravery continue.
