God is the Great Dancer! God is the one who designed the footwork pattern of all the dances. God is the lead in the dance and when we take His hand and step to the music our life flows. We manage to effortlessly handle twists and turns. We are able to push in and out of life and still stay connected. When we try to lead solely on our own we invariably step on each other’s toes. God wants to dance with us and invites us with each breath to take part in the beauty of the flow. We often fill our dance card with other suitors (fear, worry, power, living in the past) and have no room for God. All it takes is one dance and we will notice the distinction of partners. None of this happens, however, if we don’t attend the dance. Sometimes we just want to listen to the music. Sometimes we are afraid we will mess up too much even if we let God lead. Sometimes it may be scary to let God in that close. Sometimes we are so used to leading that when we try to let go we do so in a bumpy fashion. But God is not afraid to slow down and let us slowly work up to the more complex steps. God is happy that we decided to attend the dance engage in life today.
My prayer for us is a willingness to attend to our lives and consider the dance we are invited to partake in with God this day.
If God is willing to be your dance partner today, which dance would you want to attend? The Cha Cha, the Fox Trot, Salsa, Rumba ? (So many choices!). Share in the comments.
