Dancing With God’s Spirit

Dancing With God’s Spirit….

Imagine watching a couple who have danced together for decades. Their movements are seamless, a beautiful harmony where the lead and the follow become indistinguishable. A subtle shift in weight, a fleeting glance, a gentle touch from the man, and the woman responds in perfect rhythm, creating a breathtaking flow.

This intimate connection, this unspoken understanding, is a powerful analogy for our relationship with God.

Our spiritual journey is meant to be a dance of love with our Creator, a sacred partnership akin to the bond between a bridegroom and his bride. God is always leading, extending His hand, offering the gentlest of guidance. The question is, are we following? Are we attuned to His subtle cues, His quiet whispers in our hearts? If we are not responding, there is no dance, only a solitary stance.

Let us cultivate a heart that is exquisitely sensitive to God’s presence. Let us learn to recognize His slightest touch, the faintest tug on our spirit, the most delicate leading of His Holy Spirit. To surrender to His will, no matter how small it may seem, is to step into the rhythm of His love. When we become so attuned to His movements that our wills align, we begin to move as one, creating a life that is a beautiful, flowing dance of love. Open yourself to the Spirit’s guidance, and watch as your life transforms into a testament of divine partnership.

My beloved speaks and says to me:
Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
and come away, for behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig tree ripens its figs, and the vines are in blossom; they give forth fragrance. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.    Song of Solomon 2:10-13

Heavenly Father, we long to dance with You. Forgive us for the times we have been clumsy, resistant, or simply unaware of Your gentle lead. Grant us hearts that are sensitive to the slightest movement of Your Spirit, ears that are attuned to Your quiet whispers, and a willingness to surrender to Your perfect will. Teach us to follow Your lead with grace and trust so that our lives may become a beautiful and harmonious dance of love with You. May we move as one, reflecting the beauty of Your perfect guidance. Amen.

The ultimate test of faith is not how many times you’ve been to church but how closely you’ve followed the lead of the Spirit.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
