Guidance"
Posted by: tz8cy5 <tz8cy5@...>
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 relaxes 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. This
statement is what guidance means to me. 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.
