The Delight of God

Scripture  

Zephaniah 3:17 (NRSV)  

The Lord, your God, is in your midst,  

a warrior who gives victory;  

He will rejoice over you with gladness,  

He will renew you in His love;  

He will exult over you with loud singing.

Refrain  

I am the object of divine delight.

Poem  

Julian of Norwich  

“The greatest honor we can give Almighty God  

is to live gladly  

because of the knowledge of His love.  

God is not distant,  

but the ground of our being.  

He is our clothing,  

wrapping us in warmth and light.  

And He looks upon us  

with such joy and such tenderness,  

it would break your heart with peace.”
