Why?
For Us
"The Lord, your God, is in your midst, a mighty savior, he will rejoice over you with gladness, and renew you in his love; he will sing joyfully because of you, as one sings at festivals.
Zephaniah 3:17
"He will rejoice over you with gladness. On the day of new beginnings God rejoices over his people, renewing us by his love. A remarkable concept to meditate on is that believers, children of God, can bring delight to the heart of God; that our lives can bring pleasure (as well as pain) to the God who created us, who loves us, and who in his mercy and commitment to us brings us back into right relationship with himself."
(taken from The Life with God Bible, New Revised Standard Version)
Why?
To bring us back into relationship with himself.
Henri Nouwen says, "The one who created us is waiting for our response to the love that gave us our being. God not only says, "You are my beloved". God also asks" "Do you love me?" and offers us countless chances to say "Yes."
LORD, thank you, thank you, thank you!
