Day 10: Just Dance


I DANCED like there was no tomorro

and it didn't matter that I was by myself

because the FREEDOM to just DANCE

with such unspeakable JOY

couldn't stop my feet from moving.

I just had to

because how do you RELEASE an overabundance of JOY

when you don't have time to run to a mountain and shout from the top of it.

You DANCE

even if you are by yourself.

Because you are

THANKING GOD that HE really hears you

as HE brings you into your REAL self~

a part of you that has been screaming to come out

but hasn't fully come out

because you were too busy listening

to the inside chatter in your head

telling you lies about yourself

that you have been told your whole life

and has never stopped.

And then GOD reminds you ever so clearly that

the moment

JESUS comes into your life

HE came not because you were perfect

but because you were just being your messy self

and HE says

I LOVE YOU

&

COME TO ME

because my FATHER who art in heaven

is asking you to COME TO ME

just as you are

so you can become who HE created you to be.

And the moment you come

you are covered

with pure white that covers every messy thing

about you.

Every stinky thing that you every did.

Every stinky thing that anyone has done to you.

Every stinky thing that you think about yourself.

Why would JESUS sacrifice HIS perfect life

if we were perfect?

Why would JESUS stay on a cross

bleeding to death

for us if we were perfect?

Why would JESUS do this?

Because HE IS PERFECT

&

HIS FATHER asked HIM to do it

for you & me & everyone else.

FREE WILL OF JESUS.

FREE WILL for you & I

to RECEIVE

HIS WHITE ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

that we don't deserve,

but it is our choice to wear

with

THANKSGIVING.

Oh the FREEDOM of knowing what we know about ourselves

and the

FREEDOM of knowing what others may think about ourselves

and to

DANCE anyway

because

when

you answer

JESUS

and

RECEIVE HIM

HE RECEIVES all of you~

the stinky parts

the messy parts

because that is why

HE asks you to COME!

Oh will you DANCE with me

in your GOD GIVEN FREEDOM

just as are

because that is how GOD RECEIVES you

and then that is when you really become

who HE created you to be~

"fearfully & wonderfully made" (Psalm 139: 14)

forever covered by JESUS so that

all GOD sees is

you without all the stinky messy parts~

RESTORED. RENEWED. REDEEMED.

For now is perfect time for you & I to

be
