GET DOWN WITH YOUR BAD SELF
GET DOWN WITH YOUR BAD SELF No, I am not telling you to dance -- yet. As a matter of fact, what I am suggesting will bring you longer-lasting and deeper joy than dancing. But before the joy comes pain, for my suggestion is, if you haven't already done so, get down with your bad self, not in a cool dance step, but on your knees in a spirit of brokenness. Humble yourself before God and confess your sins. Promise to give up those sins. Offer God your life to use as He sees fit. Free yourself of the heavy burden of guilt that weighs you down each day. Experience the peace that only Christ can offer. See "The Light" at the end of the dark tunnel through which you are now traveling. Let yourself feel the pain. Then you can "dance with the joyful" (Jer. 31:4,13). --Becky Overturf Wall
