I was spinning around with her in my arms hearing her sweet giggles echo throughout the walls of our house and then it hit me, I felt the sudden urge to cry, I couldn’t stop it. But I also couldn’t stop smiling. She is growing so fast, some day this moment will be but a faded memory. My memory. But although she will not be able to remember the way mama danced with her today, I know her little heart was filled with joy. In that moment, time seemed to pause and it was only her and I. And that is all that mattered. That for today, right now, she knows she is loved, she knows she is safe and secure dancing in her mama’s arms.
As tears streamed down my face I realized that I too was being held. I have been crawling around lately like a mad woman, screaming and shouting nonsense. Worry, anxiety, doubt, insecurity. I have forgotten what it’s like to be silenced by His love.
He was spinning around me. He was filling my heart with joy, with peace. How I have yearned for peace in my home lately. For a moment of stillness. And here it was. In a moment of silliness, of letting go of my worries and just being me with my daughter. Singing, laughing and dancing that I heard a loud joyful voice.
Zephaniah 3:17 “The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.”
Will you allow yourself to be silenced by His love today?
