Dance for Joy

Yesterday, I visited a new church. I was blown away by God's presence - it was so tangible there. What touched my heart was seeing a little girl (probably about 8 or 9 years old) dancing her heart out in the front. She was twirling and pirouetting across the front. Her reckless abandon to worship her King truly blessed my heart. It reminded me of myself at that age.

God spoke to me in that moment, and I saw a picture of myself as a little 5 year old girl, dancing and twirling in total unashamed worship of the Lord. It was as if God was saying "See, I made you to dance. It's in your DNA - it's part of your identity." And also, another aspect of this picture was that it was a picture of myself and my identity before I was ever created - when I was still in the heart of God and before I was ever in my mother's womb - I was in the heart of God, dancing. Wow, what a thought. It totally blew my mind to think of things in that manner.

God is ever faithful - He gives exactly what you need at the time and place you need it. I am so grateful for this picture of God's love for me.
