If you listen to soul music, or R&B music, or Blues music, a lot of that came from church music and spiritual music, and music has always been a really really powerful tool that people have used to get them closer to God - whatever they define God as.

All you can do is find the instrument that suits you best, play it as well as you can, and add your music to the great symphony of divine creation.
Music has always been a huge part of my life and when I was a kid I was always throwing myself into whatever I could music-related - even if it was a little embarrassing!
