The Dance

It was hard to not notice the tie in between Mark Foreman’s message this weekend and our lesson. He spoke about the gem, the treasure, the crown jewel of our faith as believers. We become part of God’s beloved family! And He becomes our dearly loved Father, Daddy. This is so amazing isn’t it? We can hardly get our minds around it! This is what all of mankind is looking for, whether they know it or not. It really and truly is the treasure that we seek.

So in our study we are learning of this too! God Almighty, our Creator loves us and wants deep intimate relationship with us. He wants us to dwell with Him and find our refuge in Him.

Mark read about this intimacy from John 14:23. Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.”

Our heart’s desire is to be home with the Father. Dwelling with Him, living fully and intentionally in Him, in the shelter of His wings.

And so the dance. We join Him in the dance. It is all family so we can let loose and dance with abandoned joy! The dance of transformation. He leads we follow. As we begin to follow, we learn to dance better than we ever thought, or even imagined, we could! Our hearts become of one mind. His. We dance to the tune of His song. And what a beautiful song it is.

So did you do your homework this week? Did you crank up the music and dance with joy?
