He Sings Over Us

Zephaniah 3:17
He will rejoice over you with Joy; he will rest in His Love, He will Joy over thee with Singing.

Now how cool is that! The Most High God of every god, rejoices over us with Joy and Singing! I can't quite imagine Almighty God getting excited over me to the point of joyfully singing. His love is so far reaching way beyond anything I've ever experienced in the flesh or infinite miles beyond any of my lame attempts at love. If I had just a thimble full of the love he has for the entire universe, I'd be hard pressed to contain it because it's just too big.

I heard a wonderful story this week by Dr. Paul Myer. He had a dream about his Mom before she died - she was in heaven dancing with his Dad - (This was odd because she was a strict Southern Baptist and they believe dancing is not of God). Paul said, "Jesus looked down at him, winked and said, "See, I told you they'd dance in heaven"! Paul then yelled up to his Mom and asked if he could dance with them. She said, "No, you'll be here soon enough". "Just remember the love you received from Family and Friends and God all your life. Dance with everyone you come into contact with there on earth. Treat life like a Dance, shedding the love of Family and of God with other people"!

I want to be someone who loves like that. I want to be purposeful in living the dance Paul's Mom lived here on earth. Paul said that even when she was in her last days, she shared the Love of God and what His Son Jesus did, so that all of us may one day dance before His throne in Glory. Many of the residents and nurses came to know the Lord Jesus as their personal savior by her witness. Jesus died so we could live. The weight of my sins were on the cross he carried to calvary. His Love held him there! My victory is in Jesus who had victory over the cross. My Future and my Hope is in knowing this!

Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of Grace that we may obtain Mercy, and find Grace to help in time of need.
