Dancing With God
Author unknown
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 are 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.
Interceding in prayer is one of the best gifts we can receive.
There is no cost but a lot of rewards;
so let’s continue to pray for one another.
And I Hope You Dance !

Letter to a friend
Beloved Friend,
In your last email you wrote: “I am so happy that you don’t have any problems dealing with my recent past. Thank you for that, ‘cause sometimes I am still very insecure if I tell someone what happened to me…”
No, I do not have any problems with your recent past. I believe that these major life events are there to help us redirect our life, to go through our past and see what works and what did not and to make new commitments to ourselves.
Most of all I believe they are a chance to accept and love ourselves so much more and deeper. So, I think that having gone through the illness has probably made you a more gentle, caring, loving person. You are probably deeper, humbler and more mature because of it.
So instead of it scaring me, it made me feel more interested in you, who you have become and who you are becoming. Lots of love to you always…
