When I was a little girl, my father had a rare moment of joy and loving interaction with me. Smiling, he took my hand and began to show me a few basic ballroom dance steps. What a joy this was to a little girl who was hungry for her father’s lead and for his tender loving care. Recently, in the midst of a trial with a family member in the hospital, the Spirit of Father God suddenly seemed to reach out His hand, grasp my hand and waltz me around the hospital room. With my spirit submitted and relinquished to the Beloved lover of my soul, I felt Him say, “Dance and sway with me through every valley, hill and mountain. Relinquished in trust to My hand, let Me lead you. Come with My love moving you through the events of your life. As My Spirit sways you back and forth, sideways, downward and upward, move with My steps. Know that I am in the details of your life, transforming all into My beautiful story and glory. In love and with trust, let Me waltz you through your life.”

We desperately need the LORD, and the Beloved lover of our soul desires us. Let’s let go of fearing and striving to instead trust and sense His loving hand leading and swaying us through our story. Experience the almighty, faithful and true One who’s waltzing you to the end.

Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance,
And the young men and the old together;
For I will turn their mourning into joy
And comfort them, and give them joy for their sorrow.
Jeremiah 31:13
