The LORD your God is with you

– By Praveena Karun

Zephaniah 3:17 New Century Version The Lord your God is with you; the mighty One will save you. He will rejoice over you. You will rest in his love; he will sing and be joyful about you.”

ZEPHANIAH 3:17

The Lord your God is with you;
the mighty One will save you.
He will rejoice over you.
You will rest in his love;
he will sing and be joyful about you.”  Zeph 3:17

When a wailing little bundle is placed in your hands for the first time, you know there is an overwhelming love that surfaces from deep within. It’s an alien emotion that you never felt before but extremely beautiful. You know then that you will go to any lengths to protect, love, cherish, provide for your little one even if it means giving up your wants and needs. Parenting is a life changing experience brings out facets of selflessness in our otherwise self centered being. Our child is assured of our love every day and rests completely in that with a confidence unparallel to any. The trust, a squealing giggling toddler has when jumping into your arms that you will definitely catch them is priceless. We boast of their every milestone and accomplishments to anyone willing to listen. Have we ever thought of our Fathers love for us in a similar fashion multiplied a zillion times. He takes immense pleasure in our every activity and longs to commune with us. Each of us is His special highly favored child. When this realization takes a profound meaning within rather than being just a fact to us, trust inherently surges out. We are then emboldened to face anything thrown our way for His perfect love in us casts out all fear(1 John 4:18)! Yes rest in your Savior’s love, make it your primary focus and see the cares of this world fade seemingly away! No matter what you’re going through choose to concentrate on His perfect love and how He has never ever forsaken you. We may not have all the answers but we have His loving presence every second. Our God is a Good God! Have a great day and be blessed!
