God delights in you! God loves us – with all our faults and failures with all the secret sins no one else knows about. In fact, He rejoices over us so much that He breaks out in inexpressible joy and song as He thinks about us.
The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing. Zephaniah 3:17
That’s how God feels about you! He looks at you, He thinks of you . . . and He sings for Joy!
In The Singing God Sam Storms explores God’s immeasurable love for His children. You don’t need to be different; you don’t need to be better. You just need to know that God loves you just the way you are now . . . today. When you truly believe this, you will find the strength and incentive to fight sin, experience freedom from shame, and walk in the fullness of all that God desires for you.
