The Word Guidance
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.
