Can you think of someone or something that brings a deeply warm pleasure and satisfaction to your heart? Someone you enjoy being with so much that you never want to be away from them? 

This is a taste of what delight is.

To “delight” means to find great joy, pleasure and satisfaction. This is probably one of my favorite words. Forms of delight are mentioned around 100 times in my favorite writings, the Psalms.

Psalm 37:4 says “Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart”. And Psalms 147:11 says “…the Lord’s delight is in those who fear him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love.” 

It blows my mind that God delights in us!!

For me, it is easy to understand delight as a feeling, because it is exactly how I feel when I am around someone I love and enjoy deeply. But, delight is greater than just a warm feeling. True delight is deeply satisfying, and can be completely independent of our circumstances.

And for me, more than I enjoy being “delighted” by someone, I want to see them delighted. Absolutely nothing brings me more delight than to see them delight in what is truly the MOST delightful–God Himself!

Here’s the best part–delighting in God can continue our entire lives!!! The more we seek Him and know Him–the nearer we come to Him–the more we can find satisfaction, joy, and pleasure in Him! Our relationship with Him can be more delightful each day!

This is fantastic news!! Can you imagine finding more and more delight in God throughout your life, and the richness that this will bring to your relationships on earth???

I want YOU to experience delight. 

I know you will find true delight the closer you get to Him. So–my biggest intention in writing is to inspire you to move closer, nearer, to God. 

Psalm 65 says “what joy for those you choose to bring near, those who live in your holy courts.” 

Come near to Him today. The delight you will find in presence with Him will overflow your heart!
