You gotta dance...

I have always wondered who penned these simple, yet wonderful, words. Maybe we have an idea of who that might be. The cool thing is that the last line leads into a truism for those who understand the grace of Christ.

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.” 
 
William W. Purkey

Heaven is on earth in the form of every believer in whom the spirit of Christ dwells. Our bodies are the "many mansions" or "many rooms" (John 14:2) that make up His place. Just as the tabernacle was the dwelling place of God in the Old Testament, the believer's life (body) is the dwelling place since the cross (death) of Christ (putting into effect the last will and [new] testament of God Himself).
