Dancing with my Father God

Church was really special today. For the last few weeks there are new families attending. I really like one of them. Not that I don't like the others. I'm just surprised how quickly I am warming up to one of them.

Today Pastora Ruth took a lot of time for spiritual healing of the congregation. The power of the Holy Spirit was really intense. It was inescapable.

While I was praying God showed me that He is always with me. I envisioned Him arm in arm with me, like when a father walks his daughter down the aisle to be married. He showed me that He is always by my side. I am never alone.

Then the feeling changed. He was still walking me down the aisle, but what I felt was a Father's love. There was a sense of peace knowing that, while my earthly father is gone, I will always have the fatherly love of God the Father. So comforting.

At the end of church we had a time of prayer.  Soft music was playing. Everyone else had their hands up, worshiping God. But for some reason it didn't feel right for me to raise my hands. Instead, I crossed my arms in front of me and swayed back and forth to the music. The next thing I knew I had an almost tangible experience of dancing with God my Father.

It was like we were at the wedding reception. It was a mixture of the Father/daughter dance and a couple's first dance as man and wife. I rested my head on his shoulder and he held me tight. It was amazing. I was safe and more loved that I have felt in a long, long time. I just danced and danced.

When the music stopped I tried to stop, but God wasn't done with me yet. so I put my head back on His shoulder and danced a little more until we were done. I can almost feel it as I write. What a beautiful and restful place to be: slow dancing with my Father God.
