I am honored and blessed to post my first guest blog, Come and Dance!, by Mary Bennett. I connected with Mary, also known as Dancing Dove, on GAB Social. She loves Jesus, dancing, and coffee, so I felt an immediate strong connection to her.  Her posts are uplifting, inspiring, honest, and filled with the love of God’s word. I admire her beauty, creativity, and positive attitude as she shines her light in a dark world. Enjoy her poetry—used with permission—and look her up on GAB!

Come and Dance!

Step into the circle!
The circle of life!
Dance to the beat of the drum!
Creator is calling
His Children to come,
And dance with The Holy One!
The enemy whispers,
‘You can’t enter there!
Look at you!
What a mess is your life!’
And Creator retorts
To the enemies lies,
‘They can come,
And The Way is My Son!’
So why do we wait then?
Wasting time, wasting years?
Filled with shame over
Things we have done,
When His Drum beat is calling,
‘Enter now! Come and dance!
My Children, your souls have been won!’

A’ho!

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
