Dancing Like A Child

So this past weekend I was able to go to Atlanta to see my brother and his girlfriend. The weekend was awesome. I got to see Atlanta and hang out with them. On Sunday, they took me to a church they've been visiting and considering calling home. From the moment we walked in, we could literally feel/smell the presence of God. There were people everywhere...hardly anybody was in their seats. There were people in the aisle, along the walls, in the back open areas, and up front around the "stage" area...all were worshiping...some were dancing, signing, etc. This is not unusual to me that churches allow this...but it has been so long since i've been in a service where God was in complete control and allowed to visit and His people just waded in it. Worship was the longest part of the service...but it was amazing. God was allowed total freedom...there were no time constraints or limitations...He moved freely among His people who came together to solely worship Him. He and I had a good time...lol. At the end of it, the worship band was still playing and people were still out in the aisles...more had gathered up front. In the midst of the people gathered upfront were 2 little girls dancing before their King...there was also a young girl who appeared to have Down Syndrome...they were all dancing...freely and uninhibited...their worship touched every person in that place...while I was watching them and crying from the joy and God's presence the thought of "why isn't it like this every time His worshippers gather together? why don't we dance and worship freely? Uninhibited like a child?" His word tells us to have faith like a child...so why shouldn't our worship be childlike?
