Hello there. I was surfing around the net and I came across a new interpretation for the word 'Guidance'. I absolutely love this interpretation. It aptly describes how we should lead our lives. Quoting: When I meditated on the word Guidance, I kept seeing 'dance' at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn't flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky. When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another. It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other. My eyes drew back to the word Guidance. When I saw 'G': I thought of God, followed by 'u' and 'i'. 'God, 'u' and 'i' dance.' God, you, and I dance. As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life. Once again, I became willing to let God lead. My prayer for you today is that God's blessings and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday. May you abide in God, as God abides in you. Dance together with God, trusting God to lead and to guide you through each season of your life. This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached. If God has done anything for you in your life, please share this message with someone else. There is no cost but a lot of rewards; so let's continue to pray for one another. And I Hope You Dance!=D

truly, that's a beautiful interpretation. most often we only remember God during our very low moments. we didn't realize that he's always there in every second, minute, hour, day of our lives for if not, we couldn't have been 'dancing' with life anymore.

remember the line in the poem "footprints in the sand"? the line which goes... if you see that there's only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.." So I guess when you feel that he's not there sometimes, maybe he's carrying you too in while dancing?

It's beautiful. Makes my heart dance with joy and delight hearing the music of Guidance in my mind. It is God drawing us unto his steps in the ballroom hall of life. Yielding to him makes the dance of life so full of grace, and exhilirating. It presupposes a willingness, even ardent longing to be near him, close enough to hear his whisper and the breath of life from him.

A very meaningful post indeed poohgal. A nice way of breaking down a simple word and make it inspirational. Very innovative of the author to do this. I guess all of us need some guidance at some point in our lives. If looking to our love one fails to produce results, then I guess the higher authorities have to be sought to provide that guidance then. Thanks for sharing that beautiful piece poohgal.

I like the last line which reminds of the song "I hope you dance", even though I really don't know all the words of the song! I just think it's the nicest thought to express to someone "I hope you dance" since dancing is a pleasure and to say those words to someone means you wish them that joy and fun, and I just love the idea of that! The new interpretation of guidance was actually forwarded to me recently and I loved it so much I had to come search mylot to see if anyone else had posted it and there was your post. Thanks for sharing it with us! It really is a beautiful thought and very inspiring! Some forwarded mail tends to have a sameness, but this one stood out! Great discussion!
