God Enjoys Us!
by Aletha Hinthorn
When
Mary asked her granddaughter what she could buy for her on their
shopping trip, the little girl responded, "Nothing, Nana, I just wanted
to be with you." Sometimes we need to come to God without requests but
simply wanting to be with Him. God delights in us when we desire the joy
of being near Him.
God
is looking for worshipers. We tend to approach Him as though He's
looking for workers, but our heavenly bridegroom is wooing a bride, not
hiring a servant. He values our prayer and communion more than our labor
and sacrifice.
Amazingly, it seems that our fellowship with Him is first of all for His pleasure! He enjoys us!
