The Dance
He entered into the room, which was filled with noise and activity. There was music, laughter, and talking. His eyes scanned the room, searching for that one whose very face caused his breath to quicken and his heart rate to increase. He loved her, yet it was more than that. He wanted her. He wanted her to be his, and not just tonight, but forever.
Then he saw her. Across the crowded room, she stood...as if she had been unknowingly waiting for him all her life. She was beautiful. No, not beautiful...she was stunning. "God, I must have her!" every fiber of his being resonated. "I want to spend my life with her. I want to love her and cherish her and hold her. I want to take care of her and spoil her."
He walked across the room, never taking his eyes off her for even a moment. The room as filled with people, but his eyes were on her alone. As he approached her, his presence caught her attention and she looked upward into his penetrating eyes. This was the moment he had longed for as long as he could remember. Gently and lovingly he spoke: "Would you care to dance?"
This is a true story. The two did begin to dance that day and they have never stopped. He asked her to marry him and she said yes. His plan is to do exactly what he intended from the beginning...to share his life with her and to love her so much that she will never regret the day she met him.
Not only is the story true, but you actually know the people involved. The one He desired is YOU. The Person who wanted you so badly is JESUS CHRIST. One day he walked into the room of this world to find YOU. He was captivated by you and determined that He would make you His own. He knew in His heart that He must have you, that He wouldn't live without you.
