A Verse for Today - 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." Zephaniah 3:17

What a beautiful picture of God's love for us!

I think it's worth noting that this verse comes after a long litany of things that God planned to do to purify his people. When we allow him to burn away all the things unpleasing to him, we can walk in greater closeness to him, and have the kind of relationship he intends to have with his people.

Delight... quiet love... joyful singing, with YOU at the center!
