Delight

I love the word delight. It is one of the things I most treasure about my relationship with God. It's the fatherly characteristic that He displays which sinks deepest into my heart and truly captures me. It pulls my head out of my daily whirlwind of confusion and frustration and reminds me that I not only matter to God, but that God, my compassionate heavenly Father and creator of the UNIVERSE... delights in me... right now, just as I am. It reminds me that I love Him only because He first loved me and showed me the most pure love to ever exist, because he is love; the very essence of love. GOD IS LOVE. 

Psalm 37:23-24

"The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in EVERY detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand." 

Thank you Lord for bringing me a breath of fresh air today through Mackinzie. I know and see that You delight in her and I thank You for using her in my life through yet another of Your divine appointments. Bless her and keep her, make Your face shine upon her today as You delight in her and she in You. 

Amen
