| “The Lord your God is with you…” |
| —Zephaniah 3:17a |
Has anyone ever sung a love song meant especially for you? I’m talking about those times in your life when the excitement of new love so overwhelmed the one who loved you that he or she began to sing a love song to you? Ever after, whenever you hear that particular song, you immediately remember that first time your lover sang it to you. Hearing that song still makes you smile and reminds you of how much your dear one loves you.
“No. I’m sorry,” you say. “No one’s ever sung a love song to me.”
But, my friend, someone has sung a love song for you! And, that someone is the best Singer you’ve ever heard. Please carefully read these words from the Prophet, as recorded in Zephaniah 3:17:
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.
The God of the universe who, before the foundation of the earth, has chosen you to belong to Himself loves you so much that He has burst into song. And, that song is the most glorious and most wonderful love song you can ever imagine.
We “Christ’s-ones” simply struggle to even consider how gloriously wonderful it is to be loved by a God who would send His one and only Son to die in our place. Every action He takes in our behalf is wrapped in the soft, protective blanket of His unfailing, undying love.
No matter what difficulty, trial, or sorrow you may face today, please take heart. If you close your eyes and listen with your spirit, you will hear the most beautiful love song you can possibly imagine. That song, dear ones—that amazingly beautiful love song—comes from the very lips of the God who loves us with His everlasting, unfailing, undying love.
