Heavenly Father’s Delight By Brenda Drake

I wasted many years worrying over how God thought I was doing;  I expected a hard hand of correction to fall at any time.  The closer we get to Jesus and the more we consume the Word of God we get a glimpse of the magnitude of love Heavenly Father has for us.  While we were yet sinners He loved us so much He sent Jesus to pay our debt of sin so we could be able to choose to love Him back.  Because of Jesus’ sacrifice in our behalf we now are a delight and a treasure to our Heavenly Father.

Heavenly Father’s Delight

Heavenly Father delights in His child, a joy in His gaze;
At his accomplishments He lavishes praise.
His hand is always ready to assist;
Never for His child will He His love resist.
When we learn to speak like Jesus, His heart is glorified.
When the enemy strikes, His anger is alive.
His eyes always see ahead, He is never at loss.
Jesus provided everything for us at the cross.
Those that walk with confidence and entrust their life,
Truly brings our Father in heaven great delight.  
As we fully believe what the Word has said,
We find sweet peace and joy as by the Spirit we are led.
The Father is delighted by faith He pours into our lives even more,
So we can bring more children to be the delight of the Lord

Exodus 19:5
Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

        Sometimes we can get so caught up with the problems of the day: the bad news, the dire predictions, our financial situation, and our family and friends problems, we forget to count our blessings.  Really when we have Jesus, He is all we need.  We are indeed blessed,

Blessed

Blessed at my first glimpse of day,
Blessed as I bow my head to pray,
Blessed as I begin to unfold,
The Holy Scriptures that are more precious than gold.
I am filled with wonder at the beauty of such favor.
It is an eternal blessing that I savor.
My heart, mind, and emotion all come to rest,
At the holy place where I am blessed,
I take a deep breath of the peace supplied;|
Glad again that in Him I am alive.
My ears and eyes are opened for new direction to come;
With full assurance I am led by the Spirit to honor God’s Son.
I will rejoice and be glad at such favor in my life.
I will bring all praise and glory to the love of my life.
Jesus is the biggest blessing this heart could receive,
In Him, is all I crave for and all that I need.
Blessed in the morning, noon-day, and into the hours of night;
He is the biggest blessing in my life,
He is the light that enters and inside rests.
He has chased away all darkness and worry, this is why I am so blessed.

Hebrews 6:13-14
For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
