Here's something that God has been working on with me lately and this morning I found it perfectly worded in the book Captivating, by Stasi Eldredge:

You are a woman - an image bearer of God. The Crown of Creation. You were chosen before time and space, and you are wholly and dearly loved. You are sought after, pursued, romanced and the passionate desire of your lover, Jesus.

You are dangerous in your beauty and your life-giving power, and you are needed!

You speak to the world of God's mercy, mystery, beauty, and his desire for intimate relationship. The eyes of his heart are ever upon you. The King is captivated by your beauty.

You are meant to grace the world with your dance, to follow the lead of Jesus WHEREVER he leads you. He will lead you first into himself; and then, with him, he will lead you into the world that he loves and needs you to love.

His gaze is fixed on you. He is smiling. He cares nothing of the opinion of others. He is standing. He will lead. Jesus is extending his hand and inviting you "May I have this dance . . . every day of your life?"

Ladies, this is an invitation for every one of us - are you ready to dance? I am!!!
