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.

So has God has done anything for you in your life?

Sure HE has;

There is no cost but a lot of rewards;

so let's continue to pray for one another.

And I Hope You Dance !

Ohhhhhhhhh {{{ Kat }}}} Beautiful

Dancing with God is amazing and I have learned the hard way sometime
when I try to lead I pull away and get lost only to realize and humble
myself once more to his Dance...

All things.

Very nice Kat.

I like your play on words there Kat (God you and I dance), for guidance.

I don’t have that kind of relationship with god though. I don’t feel
that it’s god’s wish to lead. I feel that god’s wish is for me to lead
my own life. From my point of view that *is* his purpose for me and
this was why he gave me free will.

Not meant to imply that I should do just anything. I certainly trust my
feelings (which I believe come from god), so I’m not going to do
anything that I don’t feel good about. Perhaps this is all that god
requires of me to be ‘leading’ me. If that’s the case then I’ve been
following god my entire life and just never really thought of it in that
way.

BH25: I do try and live my life through Christ (Jesus, SON of God, and
the Holy Spirit). I hope I'm doing the best I can at this moment in
time.
I am always ready to receive new friends. I'm not too sure about any
wisdom I may have but, I certainly try to be open and ready to receive
fresh and new knowledge.

LA Mom: I, like you have learned that when I take the lead, I often
stumble,trip and fall. It is only when I realize that I am taking
control, that I can step back and give myself over to the One that wants
only the best for me in the long run. Because as a human creature, I can
and will take the way of the here and now path.

==Hmmmmm, Gods will is to lead us into the life in which He wants us to
choose the ways of right, and not wrong. God has been leading us all
along. Some accept it, and some refute it.=

Abra, I believe you are in the care of God, whether it is my God or
yours. I have always thought that you are being guided by God this whole
time. Like it or not, I see God working through you. In my opinion, you
just haven't given up your will to believe that God is working through
you. Believing in God does not mean you are weak, having no control over
your life, your mind, your feelings or deeds. It is simply an acceptance
of a power greater than yourself.
God is in your heart Abra. I believe this. I see it, I feel it.

Your friend,
Kat

PS, I did not write this "dance with God". I did however add to it. I
was needing something in my life the last few days, and this came to me
at the right time. I was and still am having a rough time of it. But
this story has lifted my spirits, and is giving me comfort and thought.

This is so adorable! Thankyou for posting this. I love it

I've known this all my life Kat, from very early childhood even before I
knew that there was such a thing as 'religion'.

See my thread, (On the definition of 'god') for an explanation of how I
experience god.

I already saw it Abra. Out of respect, I will stay away from that one.
Good to see you Abra.

I understand. But I feel compelled to share my experience in this life.
Let's not forget "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine".
Just like you feel compelled to share how you understand guidance, I
feel compelled to share how I understand god.

I just see the external image of a controlling God to be extremely
misleading to the way I experience god. So I feel that I should voice
my understanding of this.

After all, is this not what public forums are for? Or should we all
just go along with whatever the popular crowd suggests in the name of
keeping the peace? From my point of view that would be the worse thing
a person could do.

Abra, I am trying to be respectful of your beliefs, by not replying over
and over what I believe.
Yes, the forums are for us to respond to others the way we feel or
believe. But, honey; you already know how I believe and I you.
We all have choices what to read and respond too. And as of this time in
my life, it is not a good thing for me to go into somewhere
controversial and put forth my beliefs, possibly going against anothers.
My mindset is not comfortable right now, or the values to which I try
and show to not only others, but myself as well. This weakened time for
me is not in a safe enough place to feel at ease while having such
differences. So, I stay away for now.
I do not expect you to understand, but don't take it personal. Please.
Kat

good approach :)
