The Lord's heart for the "Perfect Dance"

Daughter,

I have MISSED you.

I watched you look back.

To the past.

To your faults.

To your sin.

You told me to hold on......just for one second.

You told me you would be RIGHT. back.

You just needed to make sure that you were done for good.

That that chapter of your life was really closed.

You just wanted to make sure you said goodbye....

But as you walked across the beach,

and got farther and farther from Me,

you began to realize, that what you were looking at in the distance,

was never really there.

And it left you standing there.

Confused.

Empty.

Wandering.

You didn't know where to go.

So you decided to come back to Me.

You WANTED to come back to Me.

But as you turned around,

you saw that your footsteps in the sand had been washed away by the waves.

And you couldn't remember the way back.

You realized you couldn't get back to me.

You didn't know HOW to get back.

My heart ACHED for you.

YEARNED for you.

That you would simply CALL OUT My name.

And I would have been right. there.

But in your pride,

you decided that you would do it on. your. own.

YOU would try to find your own way back.

But as you searched and searched, and searched some more.....

you just drifted farther and farther away.

Because here is the thing, precious daughter....

You can't get back.

Or at least, you can't do it on your own.

And you couldn't do it on your own.

So with what little you had left,

with your last breath,

you called out My name.

MY name.

And I was right. there.

I had never left you.

Never lost sight of where you were.

I just needed you to call out My name.

And I would come running.

I gathered you from the ends of the earth.

Picked you up.

Dried your tears.

And CARRIED. YOU. HOME.

"Even if you have wandered to the most distant lands under the heavens, from there the Lord your God will bring. you. back."

Deuteronomy 30:4

Matthew 18:13

"I tell you the truth, He is happier about finding that one lost sheep than about the 99 that did not wander off. He is not willing to lose you."

Daughter, you are that one lost sheep.

And I am not willing to ever lose you.

You are perfect to Me.

Forever His,
