Dancing Lessons

Many have chosen my dance card.
Some probably wish they had walked on by...

See, I am a beautiful solo dancer.
But, when given a partner, things are not so pretty.
When we dance close, I will step on your toes and stomp on your feet.
I have a hard time staying in my own space.
When we try a lift, I will drop you.
I will say, "I'm sorry", help you up,
only to drop you again.
I don't understand how to hold onto you so you're safe.
Our dance will not be smooth and flow together easily. Most likely it will be choppy and frustrating.
And, the day will come. I will take off my dancing shoes and leave.
You will be left standing alone, confused and hurt.

I now understand my dancing style needs much improvement.
I need some dancing lessons.

There is hope for me.
I know the best Dance Teacher. His credentials are love, truth and mercy.
He can teach me to be a loving, faithful and forgiving dancer like Him.
It will take hard work. It won't be easy. I will have to relearn the basics to build a firm foundation.
Thank goodness, He is very patient, encouraging and kind.
I will make many mistakes, I'm sure, but I have a small audience cheering me on...
It is possible for me to become a good dance partner. With this Dance Teacher all things are possible!
Dance lessons have begun.
