Dancing Leaves
I was driving to town the other day and the roads were filled with dried leaves. Then suddenly, there was a strong gust of wind and the leaves were blown up and along the road. It was such a beautiful sight. As I was driving, it was as though the leaves were dancing around the car and on the road traveling with me.
As I looked at the leaves, dancing so gracefully, without any effort on its part, without a care in the world, for that very moment, a dead leaf looked graceful because of the wind.
I started to ponder upon my life. Been feeling rather "dead" spiritually but the Holy Spirit can cause me to look graceful too as I allow Him to dance with me. He can use me to encourage another soul. Isaiah 26:3 says "You will keep her in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You because she trusted in You". No effort on my part. The joy of the Lord within. The trusting in Him. Just allowing God to take me where He leads. As the wind of God blows. Joining Him in the dance of my journey.
