Let's Dance

A couple of years ago I read a book my sister had given me (I don't quite remember the title) and was just reminded of what the book had awakened in me. It was taking about dancing in the arms of God, keeping our eyes fixed on Him so we would know where we were going. For me this is a huge issue, I have only danced with one person that I allowed to lead and that was my Dad, he had taken lessons (they made you in school in those days) so I trusted him to know what he was doing and to not make me look like an idiot. It was truly amazing, and actually my favorite memory with my Dad, he would put pressure on my back leading me in the direction we were supposed to go and I just followed and... we danced!
Now dancing with God means trusting Him with all my heart to lead me, give me confidence, not make me look like a fool and to show me off. I don't like to been shown off at all, yet I don't like to be thrown in a corner either... so what to do....TRUST!! Let me tell you I have been doing a pretty poor job of that. Oh trusting Him with my kids, my health, my family and friends our finances sure no prob...... but trusting him with my heart!!!!! Now there is the real issue. Which is funny because God is the only person we really can trust with our hearts, He will "never leave us or forsake us" He knows everything about us and most of all He loves us. He is the one true perfect man, friend, father, everything!!! So how to make Him that? How to focus on Him and trust Him enough to dance and I mean really dance, gracefully, unfloundering, not skipping a beat? Then I came upon this that God had so softly spoken to my heart years ago as He is speaking now.....

"Lean on Me, Trust in Me,

hope in Me, make Me your future, keep your eyes fixed on Me.

Don't look down, I have made it so you can dance with me. Look into

my eyes, see how I delight in you. Keep me close and hold onto the truths I gave you.

I will be your Warrior, I will be your Provider, I will be you Pursuer.

Trust in Me, Now let's dance!"

I know know that trusting means loving and ultimately sacrificing what you are most scared of, but for something far better then words can describe. With God's help I may be able to dance with Him someday, I pray that day is soon!!!!
