Dancing My Socks Off

Posted by Mrs. Walker |

I've literally danced my socks off a few times here in South Africa. Why? It started with a question and ended with an answer. The emotion left couldn't be expressed in words … so I danced.

My question: Would Jesus be enough for me? If He took away my very words, my ambitions, everything I hold dear, even the dreams of my own that I deem “worthy” … would He really, really be enough for me? When every earthly passion that steals me away is gone, leaving a broken and beating heart … would I still be in Love with Christ?

He created me to be free, free in Him. Yes He gave me freedom of choice but knows that my spirit can only truly be free and soar when it is placed in the hands of the One who created it and breathed it into existence.

The answer: Jesus lives to make intercession for me, His spirit bearing witness with mine that Jesus is MORE THAN ENOUGH for me:

“For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’ The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.”

-Romans 8:15-16

I’m Your child. You see me when my eyes are downcast. You know my feelings when I think I have nothing left to feel. You know the dreams that I held on to too tightly or pushed away or tried to make completely my own. You didn't shrug Your shoulders. You still created me even when You knew to give me life would be at the cost of Your Son’s. BUT You created me and You relentlessly pursue with arms open wide.

You desire truth in my inmost being. You are truth. Through Jesus I am valued and honored and You Love me. You remain the same and are always here.

And so my beating heart still sings-

“Even if You take it all away
You’ll never let me go
Take it all away
But I still know

That I'm Yours
I'm still Yours”

And so I dance in awe of God and inspired by the Truth in the song “I’m Still Yours” by Kutless.
