"Take delight in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart."
and he will give you the desires of your heart."
- Psalm 37:4 -
I listened to the end of the book, Angry Conversations With God the other day.
In the last chapter, the main character, Susan Isaacs, is in one of her last sessions of couples therapy with God, when her therapist asks her what she does that God delights in.
She responds by saying little things, but then realizes that God must delight in her when she uses her gifts and talents, and also when she is living obediently.
However, the marriage therapist made me wonder, when do I delight in God?
And when does he delight in me?
Just like Susan, I believe God must delight in me when:
I'm obedient,
I slow down and hear his still small voice,
I am struck with amazement by his creation,
I "play my note",
- use and share my gifts,
-and when I craft my talents.
I think those are the times when God delights in me.
And now I think I'll kick back and think for a few days about when I delight in Him.

Ah, what a good question... yes, we should delight in God, but am I giving Him ample times for Him to delight in me? Thanks for sharing!
