His Joy

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, Jude 24

Yesterday I talked about how much pride and joy God still takes in creation. But He takes much more joy in His prize creation: you! God loves you. He is interested in you. He is invested in you. He is involved in your life. You are special and valuable to Him, and you give Him great joy. You've seen the pride and joy on a parent's face when they're looking at they're child; many of you have felt that. God feels that same sort of joy in His children. It cost Him greatly to bring you into His family...but He wouldn't trade you for anything. It gives Him immeasurable joy to watch you grow and discover Him in new ways. He enjoys hearing you talk to Him, even in our fumbling, dreadfully inadequate way. God takes pride in creation, but not nearly as much as He does in you!
