Zephaniah 3v17
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.

I love this verse. It was the subject of tonights message at church.

It's just so encouraging! God is with me, what have I got to fear if God is with me? Do you ever catch yourself worrying and you don't even know what you're worrying about? It's crazy, and we don't have to either. God is with us, always. Not Only that, but He's also mighty to save. No matter what situation or circumstance you are going through right now, God is able to help you through it. He knows all about where you are and what's going on and He is completely able to save you in that situation and get you through it.

I have a hard time accepting that God takes great delight in me sometimes. I know what I'm like, but then so does God, and He loves me, he delights in me. I really want to grasp how much God loves me. I know I never will, but I just want to experience more and more of His love and for my love for Him to grow and increase. I think it's so awesome that He delights in me..it kind of blows me away.

And this is the best of all, He will quiet me with His love. I just don't have words to express how I feel about that. It's like when you're upset and have all these worries and concerns and you're crying your head off to someone and ranting about stuff, and then you're just held, you and you feel safe and cared for and loved. That's how God is with us. There's something wonderful about Just being still before God, getting a perspective of who He is, knowing that He is bigger than your problems. Knowing that He is God. It's hard to be still sometimes, but here we read that He will quiet us with His love. Sometimes words just don't measure up.

He rejoices over me with song. We're pretty used to singing to (or at) God. But He sings over us. He rejoices over us with singing. That's pretty awesome. Just get a fresh perspective of how much God loves you. It's amazing, why would he bother with us? I have no idea, but He does, He loves us, more than we can possibly begin to imagine. Just try and get hold of that. It totally changes how you view yourself.

Well, I also re-committed my life to God tonight. Things have been a bit up and down for me for a long time. I haven't spent much time with God, when I have it's because I had to, then I clung to Him and He was still there for me, which I'm so thankful for, but I haven't been living the kind of life that God wants me to live. So tonight there was an opportunity to get that sorted out and say to God that I'm serious about Him and that I want to make a re-commitment to follow Him. It feels good, like I'm in the right place, that I'm right with Him. It's cool. If you pray, pray that I push through stuff I need to push through and that God will strengthen me. I want to get growing my love for Him.

And if you don't know God, then talk to Him now and ask Him to save you and come into your life. It's real! God loves you and wants to know you and be part of your life. Just talk to Him, you will never regret it. Email me if you need to talk about it.

Well, I need to sleep. Night goobers.
