Day 12

I Am Adored

The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing.

Zephaniah 3:17 AMP

I remember growing up in church singing a song to Jesus that went like this: “I exult you; I exult you; I exult you; oh, Lord” We would sing to the Lord every Sunday, lifting Him up in adoration. One day as I was reading Zephaniah 3:17, I realized that Jesus exults over you and me with singing too! Exult means to leap for joy, to be extremely joyful, and to delight in.

I’m sure you’ve seen fans of a movie star or a popular music group leaping for joy at the sight of the one they adore. Well, just imagine, Jesus, the King of kings, adoring you in that way. He exults over you. He is singing songs of love over you to let you know how very much you delight His heart. He adores you.

Your enemy, the devil, doesn’t want you to believe that anyone adores you. He wants to fill your head with this lie, “How can God adore you when you’ve made so many mistakes?” but the good news is that your heavenly Father doesn’t even remember one thing you’ve ever done wrong. You stand clean and holy before Him because of the blood of Jesus. Zephaniah 3:17 says that in God’s love, He makes no mention of your past sins nor does He even recall them. Jesus has set you free from all of your mistakes. Jude 1:24 AMP says,

Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight].

Wow! Think about that for a minute. Jesus presents you blameless and without a single fault before the Father. The emotion that He feels when He looks at you is triumphant joy and exultation and ecstatic delight.

In March of 2008, I became a new grandma. When my granddaughter was about three months old, I sat out on my back porch and rocked her to sleep in my arms. As I looked at her beautiful face, I felt a deep love in my heart. She was so innocent and pure. She was perfect in my eyes, and I began to sing this song over her from my heart:

Jesus loves Ryann and grandma does too.

We think she’s wonderful, yes we do!

Precious and sweet and beautiful too.

We love Ryann, yes, we do!

Over and over again I sang this song out of my adoration for her. I remember singing songs of love over my own children when they were babies.
