so i was lying in bed, waiting for L to go to sleep, but just content to lay next to her and stroke her hair while i waited.. and feeling thankful and glad for this simple moment.. and You said to me,, "did it ever occur to you that I can delight over you, in this same way..?''

no conditions, not based on how well i performed today (or any other day), but just because You love me.. like a Father loves His child..

Thank You, Lord

Zephaniah 3:17 New International Version (NIV)

17 The Lord your God is with you,
    the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
    in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
    but will rejoice over you with singing.”

Zephaniah 3:17 New Living Translation (NLT)

17 For the Lord your God is living among you.
    He is a mighty savior.
He will take delight in you with gladness.
    With his love, he will calm all your fears.[a]
    He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”
