Play that Music Within You
“Then shall the young women rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old shall be merry. I will turn their mourning into joy; I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow” (Jeremiah 31:13).
My darling, the way you hear Me is unlike anyone else. The way I shape you, move you, wrap my arms around you. You are my dance partner. You are the one I choose. You are the one I cannot resist and to whom I come running.
I run to you.
I hear the music, the rushing water, the rustle of grass. There is a place we dance where it is just ours. Our floor, our clearing amidst busyness and worry.
I clear away doubt and shadow. I clear away trepidation and sorrow. I clear away despair and self-contempt. I clear away comparison and envy. I clear away disease of the heart, the kind that makes you pull away from Me.
I write notes no one before has heard. I am the orchestra, each instrument, the voice of every song. I sing for you. I dance with you. I feel the swell of each beat, each rise and fall. It is not mysterious to Me why you are precious, beautiful, captivating, stunning—altogether so bright. You bear my image. You light a room because you bear my fragrance, my frame, my voice.
Yes, I hear my voice in you.
Sing now, daughter, the song I teach you to sing—the one I’ve already taught you. You’ve forgotten some notes and some you have yet to discover. Come now, the orchestra is waiting. Your music needs to be played.

“Let Me refresh you,” says Holy Spirit. “Let Me take you deeper into the still place, the place within you that knows you are the beloved. Quiet down now. Discerning My words to you—in letters and sound—are less important than the listening you do and the understanding of Me that comes from your heart. For you are known by Me. And that knowing helps make Me known to you.” → I love the way God says, Let Me refresh you. Learning to let Him refresh us doesn’t always come naturally. It often means unpacking lies we believe, coping mechanisms we’ve relied on, and allowing Holy Spirit to renew our inner world. So come … let’s do that now.

The Bible is all about Jesus—not just the New Testament, but every passage all throughout. His coming, His death, His resurrection, it was all planned before the foundation of the world was laid. Isn’t that an amazing thought? Our God plans every detail, and lays it out long before He fulfills His words. My heart is stirred by how this article digs into this topic with such clarity. I pray it draws you closer to your King as you read.
