I remember reading that doing God&#8217;s will is a lot like dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn&#8217;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&#8217;s as if the two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other.<\/p>\n<p>My eyes drew back to the word\u00a0<em>Guidance<\/em>. When I saw <em>&#8220;G,&#8221; <\/em>I thought of God, followed by <em>&#8220;u&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;I.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em> God, you, and I dance. As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get\u00a0guidance about my life. Once again, I became willing to let God lead.<\/p>\n<p>My prayer for you today is that God&#8217;s blessings and mercies are upon you on this day and every day. May you abide in God, as God abides in you.
