Shall We Dance?

   Have you ever felt like you were living the life of someone else? As if the person that you are that day, isnt you at all? I have felt like a wallflower; looking at the dancing going around me, but not dancing myself. That doesnt sound like me at all! 

   I imagine that I am at a ball and the most handsome man in the entire room walks up to me and asks "Shall we dance?" The excitement overwhelms me and my giddy squeals are inaudible. He is by far the best dancer ever, but I dont know His steps. I dont know how He leads, so I hesitate. My distrust means He cant guide me as He wants. But instead of giving up and trying to find another partner. He asks again, "Shall we dance?" The more I dance with Him, the more I trust. The more I dance, the more I learn the steadiness of His arms around me and the tender strength He uses to guide me. He is such a gentleman, asking me to dance instead of forcing me onto the floor. 

   He reaches out His hand and asks me that familiar question and I take a hold! Suddenly, I am dancing like I have never danced before! I dare not let go as He gracefully leads me across the room. He spins me and dips me; I turn with a purpose and leap across the room! Everyone is staring at this amazing dancer and I smile in awe because its the only thing I know to do. The room gets silent, because this dancer has taken their breath away and I am His endlessly lucky partner, getting to dance in the light He is exuding! My heart screams YAY GOD as I fall more in love with each step....

   I am no wallflower. I am not some timid girl who doesnt want to leap across the room with Jesus! That is not the dancer He made me, not at all! So I will take His hand and trust Him to teach me how to dance the dance He has planned for me. 

   My question to everyone reading this is, is God asking the same thing? Has the most handsome man in the room approached you and asked "Shall we dance?"
