I wanted to get this down before I forget it!
Having a newborn really brought meaning to Zephaniah 3:17!
He will take great delight in you,Newborns don’t DO anything. They just are. I would get overwhelmed with delight looking at him, coddling him, and nursing him — simply just with him BEING. And I realized that must be how God feels about us, delighting in our being, not trying to earn His delight by doing and serving and working and proving.
He will quiet you with His love,When he would get fussy or sad, I would gently shush him and pat him, reassuring him of my presence and that he’s going to be okay. This is quieting with love!
He will rejoice over you with singing.Sometimes when I am simply looking at and loving him, I would get so overjoyed that I couldn’t contain my heart. I would just erupt with singing and song would burst forth!
All of this
God does
Over you
Just because
You’re His.
