I was laying in the grass after a long week of wrestling with myself and with God.
the sun was (finally) shining and the song We Dance by Steffany Gretzinger started playing from my shuffle.
I remembered listening to this song in my kitchen back home about a year and a half ago, when I was experiencing this new depth of sweet intimacy in my relationship with Him. everything about this song made me think of butterflies and excitement and adoration. the words "You steady me, slow and sweet, we sway - You take the lead, and I will follow...You spin me round and around and remind me of that song, the one You wrote for me, and we dance," settled into my heart with warmth and peace.
now, after a time of venturing closer and facing some hard things about life following Christ's footsteps, the words "when my faith gets tired and my hope seems lost...we dance, just You and me, and I will lock eyes with the One who's ransomed me; it's nice to know I'm not alone, I've found my home here in Your arms," were balm to my throbbing heart.
there was this picture in my head of a young couple, falling in love, dancing and twirling and laughing with sweet innocence and new-found affection and devotion. then, it changed to an older couple, a few years down the road - staying in love, dancing and breathing and leaning into each other with the wisdom and security of passion and faithfulness that has weathered storms from without and within.
and that's how I feel about me and God right now. take the analogy as you will, it's not perfect of course. I used to be scared of things with Him becoming "routine" but I have a feeling it never really will, because nothing stays the same...except His love, so this dance won't be ending anytime soon. or ever.
