You all know I like to share things that I like with you. Well this is another one. I have learned something from it about guidance. I did not write it. I got this from a Christian friend in VA. Diana Dancing With God When I meditated on the word Guidance, I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word. 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. Once again, I became willing to let God lead. My prayer for you today is that God's blessings and mercies be upon you on this day and everyday. 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. This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached. If God has done anything for you in your life, please share this message with someone else, for prayer is one of the best gifts we can receive. There is no cost but a lots of rewards; so let's continue to pray for one another...........And I Hope You Dance | ||

Have you ever heard the song "Fields of Grace" by Big Daddy Weave? It's so awesome. The lyrics say ..."there's a place where religion finally dies....dancing with my Father God in Fields of Grace". It has a real catchy beat to it. | ||

It's so funny you say that because we watched the King Arthur flick this weekend, and one of the comments in the movie that really struck me was that religion separates people, belief unites them. I just had to smile. | ||

"Dancing in the Arms of God" "Come dance with Me," He said. Large strong hands reached out to me. There was longing in their stretch. Our fingers touched, "Please take My hand, Let me heal your hurting soul." My heart cried, "Yes!" That was all it took, He held on and pulled me close. "Allow Me," were the only words He spoke, As we moved across the floor, Dancing palm in palm and cheek to cheek, My arms around His side. It was then I felt the scars and Tears welled in my eyes As I realized what this dance had cost. I pulled back, but He held me tight And whispered softly in my ear, "The debt's been paid, my precious one. It's time to celebrate! So let the dance go on!" by: Linda Harris My prayer for you this day is that you will let God hold you close. You are beautiful and ever so cherished in His arms. Don't pull back. Let Him hold you and guide you with His loving touch. Listen to what He wants to whisper in your ear. And NEVER LET HIM GO! | ||
