WHat if..
Lights begin to dim, 85,000+ people rise to their feet. Their hands in the air, screaming and yelling. The overall excitement expressed is far too much for even this gigantic dome. The music starts to fill my ears, when suddenly a man begins to make his way toward the stage. The excitement heightens as the anticipation grows.. Bono, a band member from U2 holds everyones full attention. Especially, the awe struck fan he will eventually pull up on stage, leaving everyone else with a sense of jealously, longing to be THAT person, in THAT moment. Waving his hands high in the air, swaying side to side. Immediately everyone mimics his every sway. Every word he sings is loudly echoed back. A sort of trance is created. A non-spoken trance. Where everyone is in their own little world. Just them and U2 engulfed by the music.
What if... just what if, by some chance, that many people got excited about their Daddy...you know the man who layed down His life for the opportunity of possessing your love. Your love. Picture it. 85,000+ people all hyped up in anticipation of their Savior showing up! Following His every move. His hand goes to the left, so ours follows. Then to the right . So in-sync. Hearing the beautiful words he sings, and singing together harmoniously with Him. Then, one by one being pulled up on stage. Dancing with the one who loves us more than we could ever fathom. And, we don't have to wait to be picked to be with him on the stage. Because, he wants to dance with us all! Not just the most excited one, or the loudest one who loves Him the most. HE wants the quiet one too, even the shy ones, and the ones who may not even love Him. He wants us all!
Can you imagine the impact? World changing. And, you don't even have to buy a ticket for him to show up. No big fancy stage needed. He will show up on the floor in your room, in the hospital, at a funeral, in your most stressful moment, in a crowded room, at a party, at work,anywhere. Get excited with anticipation of His arrival. He has a good show just waiting for your participation. Leading you in every move, every conversation, every situation. Just follow His lead. Leaving your failures, your past, your present, your future, your disappointments, your short-comings, your everything behind as you come to the dance floor of His healing and transforming love! He is waiting. Waiting for you to come in surrender and humility. Waiting to lift you up in His arms, away from all the pain and hurt. Waiting to look you in the eyes and let you feel His astounding unconditional love. Waiting for you.
