Dear Jesus, We long to dance for You, sing praises to You, and celebrate Your Presence continually. However, most of the time we feel earthbound and weighed down. Worshiping you requires the engagement of our entire being -- something we delight in and yet somehow resist. Teach us how to celebrate You more consistently, more abundantly.
BEGIN BY LINGERING IN MY peaceful Presence. As you relax in My everlasting arms, sense how safe and secure you are. I am indeed the rock, solid Foundation on which you can live exuberantly. Dancing, singing, and praying are ways you can express your delight in Me.
My very Presence radiates Joy in vast, unmeasured fullness! When you praise Me, your Joy increases, as does your awareness of My holy Presence. Your body may or may not be mightily engaged in this endeavor, but I see into your heart. That is where the ultimate celebration of My Presence takes place.
- Jesus
