Psalm 18 has this little vs. stuck in the middle of it that just jumped right out of the page at me! It it the truth that saved my life when I was depressed as a high schooler and encourages me to smile and have great confidence in HIS love for me now. Even when Im not all that lovable!
HE RESCUED ME BECAUSE HE DELIGHTS IN ME....I HAVE NOT DONE EVIL BY TURNING FROM MY GOD.
WOW does this encourage me! I have not done evil.....BY TURNING FROM HIM....so when I am sinking and feel like a total failure the only real thing I can do to make HIM disappointed in me is to TURN AWAY FROM HIM. Because HE delights in me HE longs for me to delight in HIM, to BE with HIM to WORSHIP HIM to TRUST IN HIM. I don't have to be perfect, i don't have to always have it right, i don't have to have all the right answers...I just need to REST in the fact that HE DELIGHTS in me.
I need to Laugh more....worry less
Not just the me that adopted 2 special needs children or the me that is a campus minister or the me that teaches Sunday school or the me who helps with my daughters Volleyball team....BUT the me who checks facebook before i pick up my Bible, the me that can't seem to love the way I WANT to love my family, the me that did not cook dinner last night and the me that watched netflix all day because I was just to tired to do anything else.....
some days you just need to crash!
HE DELIGHTS IN ME.....and for this busy, crazy day....that is enough :-)
