Only Then

He is pleased. You are loved. He is satisfied. You are His.

The God of this universe, the One Who put the stars in place, the One Who knows your every thought, the One Who made you. He is pleased. With you.

You who are loved, yes you, the one who falls, and falls again, the one who can’t remember half of what you need to know, the one who is so very weak. You are loved. By Him.

The God of everything good and right and beautiful, the One Who redeems and restores life, the One Who has had a plan from the beginning of time to save those He loves, the One Who is Love. He is satisfied. With you.

You who are His, yes you, the one who needs help and knows it, the one who hides in shame and runs away in fear, the one who feels not enough and bends the knee in surrender. You are His. You are His.

Because God is pleased with you. Because God is satisfied with you. You are loved. You are His.

He is the “…The God who shows [you] unfailing love.” - Psalm 59:17

And only “Then will [you] sing praises to [His] name forever…” - Psalm 61:8

“Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken. My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.” - Psalm 62:5-7 NLT
