Zephaniah 3:17 (New International Version)
17. The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."
Isn't it encouraging to know that our Lord loves us! It blesses me so, because I know how unworthy I am. But to my Father in Heaven, I am special. I have to admit though, it is hard to imagine he takes delight in me. Me with all my baggage, and hangups, yet His Word is true, so I choose to believe what He tells me. I know this time of year is hard for some folks, and if you are one of them, I pray Gods peace and comfort for you. As we gather today in Church, let's remember the most important things in life and put Jesus first, after all nothing else will work right if we don't. God Bless you!
