With anxious thoughts ... Will He notice me ... Do I look alright ... as I stand dressed in white and my face veiled waiting for my partner to arrive. Then the throne room door opens ... With all eyes captured on Jesus ... There He is! ... My Lord and Savior How Magnificent! How Majestic! How Glorious! But then, I put my head down low and sigh ... O' He wouldn't pick me ... I'm so unworthy But then, I felt a gentle hand lifting up my bowed head and removing my veil. As His loving eyes embrace with mine ... He takes my hand and walks me to the center stage. I noticed people gazing in awe, with a smile and a sigh ... As He holds my waist and presses His face close to mine, and whispers, I Love you my precious bride. I'm overwhelmed with tears pouring out of my heart and streaming down my face, speechless. Saying silently in awe ... Jesus picked me! He picked me! as His partner, bride and best friend. This night and forever more, Jesus picked me! As we continue to float across and circle, my dress flowing, swishing to and fro, dusting the throne room floor. Our feet never once touched the holy ground ... I followed right in step, along side as He swiftly turned and graciously leaped as though we were dancing high above the clouds and entering through the gates of heaven. Nothing else mattered ... But His masculine, gentle, loving presence. My heart, rapidly fluttered inside ... with an out pouring of His Holy Spirits Joy. Now I'm holding my head up high ... with a vibrant glow and a capturing smile, as if to say ... with a loud joyful shout! Look at me, I've been chosen ... I've been chosen to dance with the King ... Jesus! The Lord of my Life ... Jesus! My Beloved Bridegroom ... Jesus! My Brother and Best Friend ... Jesus! This gentle man named ... Jesus! My first love, my forever love, is Jesus! The name above all names ... Jesus! (c) 2007 Marita C. Laich The Unexpected Dance

I’m looking around, waiting for my partner
in the outer room, the courts of His chambers.
With anxious thoughts …
Will He notice me …
Do I look alright … as I stand dressed in white and my face veiled waiting for my
partner to arrive.
Then the throne room door opens …
With all eyes captured on Jesus …
There He is! … My Lord and Savior
How Magnificent!
How Majestic!
How Glorious!
But then, I put my head down low and sigh …
O’ He wouldn’t pick me … I’m so unworthy
But then, I felt a gentle hand lifting up
my bowed head and removing my veil.
As His loving eyes embrace with mine …
He takes my hand and walks me to the center
stage.
I noticed people gazing in awe, with a
smile and a sigh …
As He holds my waist and presses His face
close to mine, and whispers, I Love you my
precious bride.
I’m overwhelmed with tears pouring out of my heart and streaming down my face, speechless.
Saying silently in awe … Jesus picked me! He picked me! as His partner, bride and best friend.
This night and forever more, Jesus picked me!
As we continue to float across and circle,
my dress flowing, swishing to and fro,
dusting the throne room floor.
Our feet never once touched the holy ground … I followed right in step, along side as He swiftly turned and graciously
leaped as though we were dancing high above the clouds and entering through the
gates of heaven.
Nothing else mattered …
But His masculine, gentle, loving presence.
My heart, rapidly fluttered inside …
with an out pouring of His Holy Spirits Joy.
Now I’m holding my head up high …
with a vibrant glow and a capturing smile,
as if to say … with a loud joyful shout!
Look at me, I’ve been chosen …
I’ve been chosen to dance with the King … Jesus!
The Lord of my Life … Jesus!
My Beloved Bridegroom … Jesus!
My Brother and Best Friend … Jesus!
This gentle man named … Jesus!
My first love, my forever love, is Jesus!
The name above all names … Jesus!

That's the way I grew up, my family was very "churched" (I grew up Anglican). Our Sunday school lesson was today was on Heaven, as our regular teacher was away he left a video for us to watch with Joni Eareckson Tada telling us her story and all about what she pictured heaven to be. Wow I sure wouldn't want to miss that! It makes me think of all the people who were brought up the way I was and think they are Christian and going to heaven, but really don't know how to get there. What if no one tells them, or if someone does and they don't believe it, they will miss so much!!! Later in my father's life he became an Anglican minister (55), I noticed a difference in his beliefs beginning about then, and that made me think about it. It took me nearly 45 years after that to give my life to Jesus, but I am so glad I did!!! I know my father will meet me in heaven, but I am not sure about my mother, because she died 36 years ago and I really don't know what her relationship with Christ was at that time, but I pray that it was close. My husband is not yet a christian, but there are many, many people praying for him!!! Joy It’s amazing how many churches don’t teach about a personal realationship with Jesus.

Sometimes it was my attitude, my works and service. All these things are fine as long as they are never more important than my relationship with Jesus. I still regularly need to re-evaluate where my focus is as I am a work in progress. Colossians 3:1-4 says "Since, then, you have been raised up with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set you minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory." I pray that each one of us will choose what is more important....setting our hearts on things above, not earthly things. Blessings to you all..Donna Good Morning Dear Ones,

It was a good bible preaching church. That was the start of my true living for Jesus. Before that I went to the catholic church and never felt spiritually filled. I began searching for another church making a long story short, now I am going to a church which teaches the love that God has for us and how to live our lives for him. I can't imagine worshiping an unliving thing. I fell bad for people who do and pray for them every day. I am so glad that God is real and that he loves me and wants me to be with him in heaven. This world ,Gods creation is so beautiful but it doesn't compare to what heaven is going to be like. And we finally get to see Jesus face to face and worship him for ever more. Heaven is going to be a place where there is not going to be any sorrow or pain. My hope is to go there some day. I pray that the Lord will help me to fulfill that . That he will help me to rebuke satan and that he will open the eyes of my unsaved loved ones that they too will be in heaven some day. I am so thankful for these devotionals and you ladies. I get something out of every thing I read on here. May God bless and keep each and every one of you. Have a blessed week with Jesus.
