The Father's love

The words of the prophet Zephaniah 
are a wonderful description 
of God's love for us.  
Think about it line by line!  
He loves us deeply.  
He is present and powerful.  
Like a mother He delights in us, 
cradles us and 
quiets us with His love.
He expresses His joy over us 
by singing a joyful lullaby over us.


Zephaniah 3:17

  "The Lord your God is with you,
    he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
    he will quiet you with his love,
    he will rejoice over you with singing.” 
                   New International Version 1984 

(NLT)
    "He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”
