Read Jeremiah 32:41
How amazing it is to know that God actually delights in His people!
When we look at ourselves, it’s hard to understand why He would feel that way. We see our own weaknesses, sins, and failures. Sometimes, we’re so aware of our flaws that it’s difficult to find any reason to be joyful about ourselves. Even others may notice our imperfections and shortcomings more than our strengths.
But in spite of all that, here’s a beautiful truth: God rejoices over us!
Just like a bridegroom celebrates his bride, the Lord takes great delight in those who belong to Him. The Bible doesn’t say that God rejoices over mountains or stars, or even over angels—but it does say that His joy is with the people He has redeemed.
Think about that. The all-powerful Creator finds joy in you—not because you’re perfect, but because you are His, bought with the blood of Jesus. His heart overflows with love for His children, and Scripture even says, “He will rejoice over you with singing” (Zephaniah 3:17).
When God looks at those who have been saved by grace, His joy cannot be contained. He bursts into song! That’s how deep His love is.
So today, instead of focusing on your failures, focus on His affection. Let your heart respond to His joy by saying,
“I will rejoice in the Lord; I will find joy in the God of my salvation!”
Prayer
Lord, thank You for loving me even when I don’t deserve it.
Thank You for rejoicing over me with joy and singing.
Help me to see myself the way You see me—redeemed, cherished, and chosen.
May my life bring You delight, and may my heart overflow with gratitude and praise.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Bp. Paul Solomon Maglaya
