Delightful: Greatly pleasing; giving great pleasure or delight; highly pleasing.
Every once in awhile the Lord places a word in my heart. For about the past year and a half it has been love, and through that my life has completely changed. I seriously am not the same person I was a year ago and I am so thankful for that. Now as of Sunday it seems to be the word delightful. I haven’t really even had the time to look into the word yet. But I have this overwhelming sense of wanting a delightful relationship with Jesus. I don’t want to be ok with a mediocre relationship with him. I don’t want to have to convince anyone that I am in love with Jesus. I want them to look at me or know me and say wow look at how she delights in Christ! This Sunday I just knew that I was missing this in my relationship with Christ. As I looked around the church and i guess I just observed the people and I felt sorry for them. They were not delighting in Christ while worshiping, they just felt so luke warm I guess would help describe it. And seeing that I just said…that is not what I want…I know that Jesus wants to be delightful to me (us) and I’m going to let that in. I don’t want to push away something that is joyful and pleasing. I think I remember someone telling me that Jesus delights in us and after looking up the English definition that makes me smile. So I’m not sure everything I’m going to learn through just this one word…but i am really excited. After learning about love I have so much trust and faith that Jesus will change me through this and strengthen our relationship.
On another note, at work I have been building a relationship with my assistant manager (Marsha) who is 52 i believe. Yesterday the Lord just really opened her up and it just seems that she has more trust in me and I am so excited because I know that I am going to be able to continue to “do life with her”, to love her, and to minister to her. Its crazy to me that God put a women who has so much life experience in my path to share with her. I just would have never thought that could happen. I guess I thought it could be a college, high school or middle school girl. I mean i’m only 21…its just crazy but in an amazing way.
more on delight in the future…
