Word of the Day
Beloved when you have been dancing with Me and have experienced a time of intent discovery which gives way to a time of mediation and reflection it is OK to rest awhile. After you have rested you will again arise and dance with Me, having abandoned unwarranted fears and doubts. Dissipating fear equals less mistakes and more confidence in the ‘Lord of the Dance.’ This is a course of action we will do over and over.
Give yourself permission to enter the process without condemnation. There is no such thing as failure with Me, only course correction. Remember this, as I hung on the Cross the invitation to dance was extended and you accepted; therefore, I have counted you worthy, My chosen one. My heart thrills at all prospects—at all the results we will accomplish together.
Arise, My Beloved, and dance with Me as I guide your every step and teach you many new things throughout your life. The more you hear, listen and respond, the greater impact there will be on your faith. Increased faith makes it easier to glide across the dance floor of life; thereby, flowing in an intimate relationship of purpose and destiny.
The cycle of listening, hearing, receiving, and giving for both of us will create a dance of flawless movement. So, come and once again place your ear on My speaking heart. Embrace its words of love, instruction and wisdom. They elevate you to the place of victory. My hand is extended. Come and dance “The Dance of the Bride and Bridegroom” with Me…Read Complete Love Letter
The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord, all I can say…all I can sing…is grace…grace…grace…beautiful grace. I embrace Your goodness—Your kindness to me. I cloak myself in Your patience love and enduring grace. I wrap myself in the communion of Your heart. I hide in the communion of Your secret place. And I dance…yes I dance on the lofty heights of Your Word of Truth which has power to change and make whole. Purpose and destiny are lived out one moment…one breath at a time. Each step I take with You is a piece of destiny as it unfolds before my very eyes.
Teach me to learn when to arise and dance…when to rest and meditate…when to just behold You…to gaze upon Your beauty. Help me to embrace the process and see it as a dance. After all, dancing is way more fun than process. Process is simply process; dancing however, is beautiful and pleasant to see and hear when set to the music of Your heart.
I arise my Bridegroom to dance this dance with You as You bid me come. I acknowledge in spite of all I may see or feel that I am Your chosen one…the fairest of ten-thousand. Step by step my fears are dissipating and faith is growing in my heart until if overflows into the streets of my life. I listen. I hear. I receive and I give. I rest my head on Your speaking heart to dance “The Dance of the Bride and Bridegroom” with you.
Reflect and Journal
- What do you see when you envision Him? Do you see grace…grace and more grace, or do you see what you want to see…what the evil one chooses to say about you or the Lord for that matter?
- Reflect on dancing awhile and then resting awhile. Do you have a hard time resting because you feel you should always be doing (dancing)? Take time to reflect on anything Holy Spirit spoke to you as you read this.
- Reflect on the cycle of listening, hearing, receiving and then giving. Sometimes we try and give without doing the other aspects. If we treat each aspect of the cycle like well-timed notes meant to respond to, then our dance will be a beautiful example of grace.
