Guidance

Guidance



When I meditated on the word


guidance,


I kept seeing


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 the two become


one body. To dance this way takes

surrender, willingness, and attentiveness


from one person and gentle guidance


and skill from the other.


My eyes were drawn back to the word


dance at the end of


guidance

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 receive guidance

about my life. Once again, I became willing


to let God lead. May you abide in God


as God abides in you. Dance together

with God, trusting to be led and guided


through each season of your life.


And I hope you dance.
