I don’t know why certain things don’t work out. I’m learning through the pain, questions, and seasons to praise God despite my feelings. Even when I feel heartache and tears stream down my face I’m going to dance with the Father. Taking God’s hand for this dance transforms into thankfulness that He walks hand in hand with us through the seasons of life.
He hung on the cross for me and everyone else. I have blamed him for things. I’ve said he’s not being enough. All those times were because my will failed and I didn’t get what I wanted. My steps have failed but He gave me inheritance into God’s kingdom.
During our time together the other day He walked me through a sweet vision. We were walking hand in hand through an amusement park. I began to realize how relatable life and an amusement park are. The two of us were surrounded by roller coasters and rows of game booths. Sometimes our seasons are thrills and others are a dull. Adventure and curiosity filled my soul to explore the park. From time to time I would pull the Father along as my excitement built up. When I was getting wild the Father would gently pull me back in and lift my head to meet His eyes.
So often I go my own way and wonder where God is. Time and time again He is there waiting for me but I miss Him because my eyes are set on other things. Every season leads to new courage to ask for what I need, special people to mentor me, and strength to have childlike faith. He has never left our dance. Instead, He has waltzed with me through every major and minor.
These past 9 months have taught me a lot about my emotions. I don’t like to sit in hard things but I love to sit in the easy things. I see His love when I look into His eyes. He leads me to rest. His hand is the one I hold onto and His arms are the one I run to. He reminds me His space is a safe place to land. He leads me to rest my head on His shoulder. He carries me. He sits with me. His heart is mine and my heart is His.
The Father wants to see you dance and live in his glory. Will you take His hand for this dance through the test of time? It will take all of you, but you will get all of Him!
