Isaiah 40:11, 31 “He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.”

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

Psalm 82:3–4, 8 “Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.”

“Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.”

Beloved,

Holy! This is what the Father calls you. You have been refined in the Liquid Fire that came from the Lamb of God. Its Blood poured out on your head and covered you completely. It was at the Cross, that place of Salvation where the Lord willingly gave His life for yours. Every sin, past, present, and future was dealt with there. Your corrupt heart, now purged in a Blood that redeems and reconciles. The Father sees you in a new Light, a light that was constructed by His Son Jesus. It was and is His inheritance, that of the Light that was first breathed at creation and the void became tangible.

There is no other Love, then His. He treasures you. He has readied you for the moments and breaths ahead, ensuring that His plan is played out till its end. The hold He has on you is enduring and forever eternal, breaking the bondage of an earth that is dying, but soon to be renewed. The Love that poured out in those moments, was agony for the Lord, but elegant lavish royal romance that came from the depths of who God is. He was born of a virgin, who was willing to carry a son to the Cross. It was Mary that gave birth to the Savior, breaking down the walls of mystery and birthing miracles upon the earth that has waited for His appearing.

The greatest miracle was His death on the Cross. It is impossible to kill a God, less He willingly gives His life in exchange for yours. The same God who descended is the same that ascended and will forever be at the Right Hand of the Father.

He sees you there on your knees in humble adoration of His Son born of a virgin. He takes up your hand and raises you to your feet. You hear music coming from His heart, and begin to sway to its melody. You place a foot at a time upon His Feet, and He moves you like a small child, but at the end of the dance, you have become the Bride adorned in white. Every stain of your life has been wiped away. You have been groomed for this moment, this time and season. He brings your heart into His House and lays it on the Altar that is burning bright with Holy Fire. He counts you as worthy. You have waited for this moment and now take others up in the dance that rescue the needy and sets them free from their bondage.

It is a dance of freedom.
