My El Shaddai

Since the day I was saved one of the first scriptures I read was Zephaniah 3:17

The LORD your God is in your midst,
       a mighty warrior who will save;
   he will rejoice over you with gladness;
       he will quiet you by his love;
   he will exult over you with loud singing.

Now as I've been getting more into the bible the more powerful Zephaniah 3:17 has become, it has been imprinted on my heart.

It says in  Luke 2:13-14

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”


In Revelation 5:11 it suggest that there are so many angels in heaven that the human mind cannot fathom the number, and they are constantly singing praise to God without ceasing.

Now look at Zephaniah 3:17 again,

The LORD your God is in your midst,
       a mighty warrior who will save;
   he will rejoice over you with gladness;
       he will quiet you by his love;
   he will exult over you with loud singing.

When God's people seek Him and follow Him, and rejoice in Him and trust Him, then God personally delights in YOU!.

This is not a half-hearted, emotionless contentment, but it bursts forth  ... the joy of Jesus BURSTS FORTH in divine celebration of singing over your life.

We are talking about the God of which hundreds of millions of angels are singing praise to Him constantly... the Alpha and Omega, The Great I AM, The Lamb of God singing praises over you personally.

All He asks is we love Him, trust Him and follow Him...   to give our heart and soul to the author of love Jesus Christ, what did we do to deserve this Majestic King?
     
Everything Jesus did was a sacrifice so that we could know God the father through Jesus Christ, not because God wants to show off His kindness (which don't get me wrong His kindness is endless).

It was all done because HE WANTS TO KNOW YOU!!
Jesus wants you to come to him and have a very personal relationship with Him!

This is the Greatest love, He died for you and He still wants you with a passion... Jesus wants to be your best friend He wants to love you, to shower blessings upon you, to take care of you and to build you a mansion in paradise with Him...

There is no greater love than this, and THAT is a God and Saviour that I want to know!

Thank you for your love Jesus
Thank you for being so in-love with us and wanting a personal one on one relationship with us.

All praise and glory to our King Jesus Christ.
