What's in a word???

(I received this by email and wanted to share it with all of you)

G U I D A N C E

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
realizes 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. My prayer for you today is
that God's blessings and mercies be upon you and your
family on this day and everyday. May you abide in Him
as He abides in you. Dance together with God,
trusting Him to lead and to guide you through each
season of your life.

This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached.
If God has done anything for you in your life, please!
share this message with someone else, for prayer is
one of the best gifts we can receive. There is no
cost but a lot of rewards; so lets continue to pray
for one another.
