#JESUS "is"...Our Dance Partner!
#JESUS "is"...Our Dance Partner!
AMENA BROWN WROTE...
"In a formal dance, the man is the lead. He controls the turns; he keeps an eye out on the dance floor so that the two of you don't run into other couples. He makes sure you step in your space wisely. In a formal dance, the woman's job is to relax her arms, fingers, back and shoulders, to stand strong and straight but fluid enough to be directed, to keep good rhythm and be ready for any turn. A good male dancer can make a woman who is a novice look like she knows what she's doing, if he leads her well."
AMENA continues..."Learning how to waltz for my debutante ball made me see for the first time the beauty of the metaphor of Jesus as groom and the church as his bride. If faith is a dance, Jesus is always the lead. He controls the turns; he teaches us to turn in the space he's given us. This requires us to surrender to him, to trust that he knows what he's doing and where we're going."
If this analogy is accurate, and it IS, as "Christ's Bride" - WE MUST "get in ("stay in") step with Jesus", so that we're NOT stepping all over HIS Feet (so to speak) and being that awkward "dance partner"; which causes more pain than enjoyment (FOR US), in the "dance of life"...
The "FALSE APOSTOLIC ORDER" somehow has deceived the lion-share of Christ's Church into believing that "we're (MANKIND) - in control?!?"
How very foolish and prideful "religious people" can be, who've permitted - "self-promotion, political power and temporal positions", to unfortunately - "pump up their inflated egos and blind ambitions", concerning the very advancement of Christ's Kingdom, which is ALL in HIS Care - with ONLY our "obedient cooperation", as HIS only requirement of us!
What's FUNNY is, you've got a LOT of people, who have sought "mastery" in a "dying system" or "religious order", that is solely based - more upon their church politics, hateful dispositions, and gross limitations, than upon the whole counsel of God's Word!
"I think we're MISSION DRIFT, Captain!" LOL!
HOW can you KNOW if you're "dancing with the wrong dance partner", spiritually speaking?
Just, LOOK DOWN at your feet, and if you're "feet are sore" - from following "hard-headed men" or "stiff-necked people" - from GOD'S PERSPECTIVE, who aren't REALLY following Christ - but their own flawed religious views of HIM...
#SWITCH PARTNERS IMMEDIATELY, so YOU "can get your dance on - IN PEACE"! (Smile)
