A violin student came to the great composer Stravinsky and said, "I can't play this piece. I've given it my best and found it too difficult, even unplayable." Stravinsky replied, "I understand that. What I am after is the sound of someone trying to play it."

Is that what God wants? Well, Jesus didn't say, "He who hears these words and tries is like a wise man who built his house on the rock"; Jesus says, "He who hears these words and does them." Yikes!
