"The
Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over
thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing” (Zeph
3:17; KJV). If we had any doubt of God's love for us this verse should dispel
it. As we know it is by no means the only verse in the Bible that talks about
this. In Psalm 18:19, king David wrote that God is pleased with us and delights
in us, this is repeated in Isaiah. 62:4.
It
seems quite amazing that the omnipotent God should take delight in us mere
mortals but that is what it says so we must believe it. According to Isaiah 43:4
we are precious in God’s sight. And the prophet Malachi records that we are
God's jewels (Mal 3:17).
You
might ask well, did God have anything written like that in the New Testament? I
am glad you asked that question! “For we are his workmanship” (Eph 2:10). The
Greek word for workmanship can also be translated as his poem or work of art.
God also loves us so much that he sent Jesus to die on a cross for our sins (John
3:16).
If you
have low self-esteem or are feeling unloved meditate on these verses until you
get a revelation of God's great love for you. You will then be confident enough
to reach out to others with the love of God.
