Leitmotif was the Word of the Day for Tuesday, May 31, 2011, and has two general meanings.
Firstly, in music drama, it is a marked melodic phrase or short passage which always accompanies the reappearance of a certain person, situation, abstract idea, or allusion in the course of the play. In other words it is a sort of musical label.
The second meaning is, as a dominant and recurring theme. And it is with that second meaning that my mind wandered to my own life and to what was its dominant and re-occurring themes.
Before I became a Christian I don’t know that there was any re-occurring theme in my life except perhaps my Family. Before I became a Christian at 29, I had no real direction or purpose in my Life, let alone a re-occurring theme; but after I became a Christian I had both purpose and direction.
Looking back at my post Christian life, I find that whenever I was in difficult circumstances and needed someone to confide in, no matter where I was, whether in this country or in South Africa, God brought along the right person for that time and circumstance, even if I haven’t seen that person since.
Of course he has blessed me in so many other ways too, but my Leitmotif is that God has continually blessed me with giving me the right human encouragement at the right time.
Well, that’s my Leitmotif! What’s yours?
