I am currently reading through a book that a friend let me borrow titled The Divine Embrace. As I was reading through this I came across this passage that truly left be breathless. This is what it said:
"Imagine yourself in a ballroom. Imagine that the Emperor, the Lord Jesus Himself, has tapped your shoulder. Hear his voice as he speaks your name and asks you to dance. As the Emperor draws you near, look into his eyes. Place your palm in his and follow his lead."
"Listen to the Emperor Waltz" and allow yourself to be swept away."
As I read this I had to take a moment and allow myself to catch my breath. This literally took my breathe away.
When I first read this I closed my eyes and imagined myself in this beautiful white dress like Cinderella wore. As Jesus asks me to dance I can see myself begin to cry as I ask myself "Why on earth would He ever want to dance with me?." Then I allow myself to trust Him and he allows me to experience the one thing that I have not been able to experience in a very long time. SAFETY. Safety is something that takes a lot of effort for me to feel in life. I was able to let my guard down for the first time in a very long time and trust that Jesus would take care of me right where I was. Even in the midst of the current storms that surround my life.
I encourage you to take that same journey and see what it is that God has to show you as he asks you to dance.
