physical

Physical space can be seen as a limitation.

God isn't limited by human flesh.  He is everywhere and everything at once, He is greater and stronger and perfect and free from the limits of a human body.

God stooped when He became Man.  He took on a limitation.  He accepted the humbling status of human; of having a physical body.

But God uses all for the best.  He gave us physical bodies in order to glorify Him most, and though the devil tried to contort and twist our physical existence into something ugly through sin, Jesus entered our world and through His resurrection redeemed the flesh; turned our human existence into something beautiful.

The devil wants our physical bodies to be a hindrance to our soul's praise of God, but Jesus became Man, and as the perfect One, He praised God perfectly being fully human.

We'll never be perfect, but we can glorify God with what He's given us: our physical bodies.



Dancers have a huge gift: use our bodies to praise the Lord in a way set apart from average living.  The devil wants us to believe that our bodies are a limitation, but it's just not true.  Our bodies were created by God, and though we are flawed by sin, we can still use our bodies to sing to Him.

This is part of the fight.  Our bodies can be used for good or bad, but when we dance to glorify the Lord, His kingdom is being fulfilled in and through us.

Dance is part of the fight, part of the struggle, and we know how the struggle ends: with victory.

So I'll dance now, though I'm flawed and sinful, because he uses all for the best.

"He has made everything beautiful in its time." -Ecclesiastes 3:11
