Dance
I
meditated on the word guidance, and saw "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 relaxes 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.
We are the Bride...let Him lead!
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. This statement is what
guidance means to me. 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.
