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
