Catch Those Foxes!

You can't force this dance, Beloved. You can't dance on your own. Dancing through your difficulties requires a coming-away with Me. We must be connected, touching, to dance together. 

I know that you treasure this time, but so easily it gets crowded out. Catch those foxes! Let us catch those pesky foxes that would destroy the work I am doing in you. You need to help Me with this, Beloved!

Self-loathing is a weed in your heart-garden. I am rooting it out and replacing it with beautiful flowers of "confidence in My Love" and "inner beauty". I am watering these with My Love. I am changing the way you see yourself. I adore you! It thrills Me to look upon you! 

Your worship captivates My Heart and I am completely undone when I hear your whispers of sweet, trusting Love! 

There is no aspect of your health that I cannot transform as we spend time together. I could do it right now, but I also want you not to miss the lessons I can teach you on the journey. I can increase your physical fitness as you dance before Me. I can heal your emotional pain as you open your heart up to Me more fully. I can change your ingrained wrong thinking and transform your mind as you spend time with Me in My Word. I can increase your capacity to love as you learn to accept more of My Love. I can increase your capacity for laughter as you spend time in My Presence. I love to show you funny things. 

Please, Beloved, I beg you to keep making our precious time a top priority! We need it!

Fancy Footwork

Keep dancing with Me, Beloved. With Me leading, you can avoid the self-pity bogs, the fear traps and the worry pits. 

Breathe deep of My Spirit Breath and keep your eyes fixed on My Face. 

I will show you the steps. I will teach you fancy footwork. I will dip you under high obstacles and spin you over low obstacles. 

I've got this! Trust Me with this day, too.

Fascinating

My Beloved, I find you fascinating! Yes, you are amazed that you have the power to evoke such emotions and desires in Me. But it is true. I am your Creator, but I also set you free to think for yourself. I find you beautiful, brave, fascinating, thrilling and delightful!

I love to spend time with you, Beloved. I love that you look forward to our time together with longing also.

Removing Your Limits

You have been operating on limited lung capacity. Your lungs have been all clogged up with self-hatred and self-blame. I am cleaning this out, and you will be able to take a deep breath again!

You have been so limited by this weight. I am removing your limits, one by one. I am removing scales from your eyes, also. Your choices often make your mind, heart and spirit more sluggish. Mindless entertainment as a way of distraction is a tool of the enemy to render you a dull instrument, and to block your ears to Me. There is so much I want to say to you through all the dull moments, through the boring monotony of housework, and through your stitching. 

Let Me lead you in this dance. I want to show you so many new things. Dance with your eyes open. 

Dance With Me

I Love You and I Like You

It is no coincidence that you have always been drawn to dancing. I am giving you dancing as a weapon of warfare, and a tool of breakthrough and JOY! 

Beloved, let Me teach you the steps. You carry My goodness, you are good in Me. Reject all self-loathing as sin. I want you to learn LOVE for yourself. Remember at the beginning of this year, I told you this is a year for learning to love well. This is an important part of that journey...learning to love yourself. Not just tolerate yourself. Not despising yourself and blaming yourself for the state of your health. 

I want you to learn to see yourself as I see you - beautiful and good! Emanating Light! I don't just love you because I have to - I delight in you! I really like you! You can like yourself too. 

You are creative! You have skill with needle and thread. I have filled you with the Spirit of God, with skill, with intelligence, with knowledge and with all craftsmanship to devise artistic designs (Exodus 35:31-32). You are compassionate, caring, a great encourager. You have a good eye for the hurting and skill in drawing people out. You are a good friend. You have style, originality, a spark of uniqueness. I love your flair. You are pleasing to Me. I love you, and I like you!

Easy and Joyful

I lead you in this dance, Beloved. You know how good and how easy it is to dance well in the arms of a skilled dancer and gentle leader. Surrender to My leading and all striving will cease. This is your tool for breakthrough, My Precious One! Lean into My arms, and I will sweep you around the floor, and through the difficult moments, with such joy rising in your spirit. 

I can dance you through brain fog. I can dance you through debilitating fatigue. I can dance you through migraines. I can dance you through homework and children's tantrums and fights and whinging. I can dance you through stressful morning routines and double drop-offs so that it feels easy and joyful! 

As you follow My lead, the tension will leave your body, you will relax, and I will show you new things. My dance can turn the drab, grey days into full-colour. It will create opportunities for you to connect with your kids and your husband in ways you long for. 

Dance with Me, Beloved!

Keep Dancing

Remember that revelation that I gave you last year, how dancing with Me could carry colour and joy into every activity of your life. The enemy has tried to steal that revelation from you with all the hard circumstances you have faced in the past six months. 

Consider this: if you do not want to lose that connection with Me through a day, do not choose activities that I would not wish to dance through. Sometimes your choices of entertainment are not "harmless" because they distance Me. Keep dancing with Me, through each moment of each day. When you are feeling stressed and when you are letting your natural man rule, close your eyes and picture us dancing again. Let your spirit man be in the forefront. Let My Spirit guide you. 

There is no circumstance that you face that cannot be danced through. When you lose the connection and find yourself in beggar's rags, sulking and tantrumming, wallowing in the pit of self-pity, just look to Me and I will take your hand, pull you out, clean you and dress you again in Strength and Dignity, and begin the dance where we left off.

Dignity and Strength

Beloved. Get up off of the ground - do not wallow in your shame! Stand, receive My forgiveness and forgive yourself as freely.

You cannot hate yourself without hating Me, for My Name dwells in You! Step forward into the destiny that I have for you. You are a daughter of the King of Kings! You are not a beggar child, and should not conduct yourself as such.

Remember to walk in Dignity and Strength - I have given you these as robes to wear. Do not exchange your royal robes for torn rags.

As you weary, draw aside to Me. Do not just throw yourself down in the middle of the road to be trampled. Come aside with Me and renew your strength in My Presence.

I love you, My Beloved. Rest in My Love!
