God Delights in His Children
Read Zephaniah 3:17b
—
This may be one of the most surprising verses in the entire Bible.
God delights in His people.
He rejoices over them.
He sings over them.
Let's be honest.
Many of us assume God merely tolerates us.
That He's constantly frustrated.
Constantly disappointed.
Constantly shaking His head.
But that's not the picture Zephaniah paints.
Because of His grace...
God delights in His children.
Not because we've earned it.
But because that's the kind of Father He is.

Today's Question:
Do I believe God delights in me, or do I secretly think He merely puts up with me?
Today's Challenge:
Spend time today thanking God not just for what He gives you, but for the relationship you have with Him through Jesus.
Today's Prayer:
“Father, thank You for loving me more than I can imagine. Help me rest in Your love instead of trying to earn it.”
