Subject: Dancing with God

When I meditated on the word "Guidance," I kept seeing 'dance' at the end of the word And I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.

When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn't flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.

When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back Or by pressing lightly in one direction or another. It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person, and gentle guidance and skill from the other.

My eyes drew back to the word "Guidance." When I saw 'G': I thought of God, followed by 'u' and 'i'. 'God, 'u' and 'i' 'dance.' God, you, and I dance.

As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life, and once again, I became willing to let God lead.

My prayer for you today is that God's blessings and mercies are upon you on this day and every day. May you abide in God, as God abides in you.

Dance together with God, Trusting God to lead and to guide you through each season of your life.

analogy and can see the reasoning.

Since I never could dance (nor did I really try to learn) that may explain why I never was as good at following the Lord as I should.

I can't think of anyone who follows him more. You are one I look up to as an example. 8-(

Connie, I liked that. Thanks for sharing it. It will stay with me. God, you and I dance....

that I am nothing more than a sinner saved by grace.

Have been for 50 years and will be for eternity. If I was following as close as I should be then I would mess up and sin again now would I? (smile)

I forgot to mention that I can't take credit for writing this. The author wasn't named so I couldn't give him/her the credit but I liked the analogy and wanted to share it.
