Dancing with the KING: A Life Partner

Are you allowing God to choreograph your Life?

I love the story of Cinderella. Her step-sisters and step-mother mistreat her. They do nothing to ease her pain and continue to demand more from her—a horribly choreographed life! But this is not why I love the story.

STRETCH your IMAGINATIONS

Imagine yourself as Cinderella, a tired, worn-out girl who suffers daily from meaningless chores, day in and day out. As her night draws near, she prepares to retire until there is a knock at the door. She drags herself to the door and opens it. To her surprise, a handsome young man stands at the door wearing a white shirt and pants. He extends His hand to her, saying, “Cinderella, I know you are tired, weak, and weary from living your life. You have lived through many trials in your life. But I have come to give you rest. Will you let me give you rest?” She asks, “How will you do that?” He responds, “Trust me, you will see,” He then takes her hand in His.

To her surprise, a handsome young man stands at the door wearing a white shirt and pants. He extends His hand to her, saying, “Cinderella, I know you are tired, weak, and weary from living your life. You have lived through many trials in your life. But I have come to give you rest. Will you let me give you rest?” She asks, “How will you do that?” He responds, “Trust me, you will see,” He then takes her hand in His. 

She lets him take her hand as they walk down the street named Life. As she tells him her life story, something begins to happen. With every hurt and loss she shares, her dress turns whiter and whiter. While his white shirt and pants turn blacker and blacker.

They come to a beautiful building with lights that seem to be dancing in the air.  Inside was grand, and the young man took her hand, bowed, and began to dance. They were the only two there. By this time, her dress is almost as white as snow, and His clothes are continuously changing. She is confused about the change she sees because she has never seen anything like it. She begins to tell him more and more about her life. The more she describes it, the more He starts to look like a Prince.

The beauty of the Dance is magical. With each story she tells, He is starting to look more and more like a KING. He is stunning! He wears a cape adorned with diamonds, rubies, and pearls. It is something she has never seen before. He takes her hand with joy in His heart. Because He knows what The Dance symbolizes: trust, surrender, and connection, which mirrors the relationship He desires with her. He knows a profound sense of confidence will bring peace and joy to Cinderella’s heart and mind.

A dance requires a partner who is willing to follow the partner. A partner is willing to move to the rhythm, trust the steps, and cherish each moment. Dancing is akin to our first steps as children. We stumble, fall, and veer off course, but with our parents’ guidance, we soon learn to walk without falling. Navigating Life’s intricate and complex twists and turns can be managed when the KING is the lead. 

The master choreographer is the KING. He knows the right time to turn us around and where we will end up. We do not have to be afraid when dancing with the King and following His lead. He calls us to him with open arms like a partner of the ballerina. We must embrace creativity, curiosity, courage, and trust, ultimately shaping our unique experiences. Every decision contributes to the King’s purpose for our lives.

A Life Partner

Choosing our Life PARTNER

Dancing with the KING paints a picture of His soothing presence. He guides us like a feather blowing in the wind. He leads with a gentle touch, never imposing force, and always stays by our side. HIS guidance and support in this “Dance of Life” reassure us and give us the confidence to take each step. 

Just think! With all, He is doing at this very moment in time. He still has His eye on you and me because He is intimately choreographing our journeys. He is the most gracious and gentle partner we will ever have. He empowers us to do His will as we walk through this world. 

Again, I ask, “Are you allowing God to choreograph your Life?”
