How Does God Describe Himself to Us?

 

                                          How Does God Describe Himself to Us?

A great verse for this morning:

     The LORD your God is in your midst. The Mighty One will save. He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you with His love; He will rejoice over you with singing" (Zephaniah 3:17).

 Ever notice how often, in Scripture, God compares Himself to us as our parent or spouse - the 2 most intimate of human relationships - that's  how He describes Himself to us!

Here He is a Parent holding His beloved child, comforting and singing His love. Quieting the fears and ending the tears. The loveliest lullaby in the universe!

Seems to me we talk a lot about loving God - as we certainly do and should - but maybe sometimes we should just sit quietly and let Him love us! Just let  His love surround us, wash over us, fill us to overflowing - apparently that  gives Him  great pleasure --  let's do it now!
