The Dance of Life

I found a poem that made me really think. Am i letting God have control or am i trying to control everything by myself?

Dancing with God By: Elaine L. Guercio
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 be upon you on
this day and every day.
May you abide in God as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead and guide you through each
season of your life.

We have to allow God to be incontrol. The longer we try to stay in control the longer our life will be sloppy, messy, and unsuccessful! We will feel unfulfilled and sad. We will fail and fail again until we finally give God control.

When we finally allow God to control the dance of life, we will become happier. We will gain confidence, we will be successful, and most importantly our relationship with God will strengthen.
Two people can not be incontrol of the same dance. If we allow God to be incontrol our dance will graceful and beautiful.
Let God lead your Dance of Life! :)
