JOY OVER WHAT?

Zephaniah 3:17

"The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing." ESV

Jesus Christ did not become a man, walk and live among us, become hated and murdered so that He could win a prize. He offered Himself to reconcile fallen man back to God. The Lord's love for us is so great that He involves Himself with us and will never leave us. Christ takes such joy and delight in us, His Church, that He quietly basks in this love, singing with joy over those who love Him too. This is His reward.

Heavenly Father, help us to remember that we are Christ's joy and reward. Give us hearts to seek Him and continue to be a joy to Him. We pray in His precious name, Amen.
