One day last week I was telling the Lord that I wanted to understand His love, His delight. And I wrote this.
So great is Your love, You sing over me. So strong is Your delight in me, You dance where I am concerned. Your heart swells with joy, because I love You. To open arms I run, because I belong to You.

This is amazing! I am thinking it has a tune to it… How does it go? My heart is making up a tune as I read it. Thanks for the pick-me-up!

The fact that you wrote that shows that you DO understand it.

JoAnna: Wow. I actually never had one in mind. I wish I could hear yours. Could you tell me in notes? Then I could play it on my keyboard. What a surprise blessing to me that this blessed you. Thank you Jesus!

Chelsea: You’re right. So it was actually part of the answer to my prayer. But sometimes, head knowledge doesn’t mean much, you know? I want to know it. To live in it and walk it out. Because I know, too often the enemy gets me in this mindset that God is mad at me and it causes me to be distant. The more I know His delight, the more I will embrace Him and keep myself hidden in Him, even if I am confronted with my own weakness.
You’re right though, still. I simply need to allow God to cultivate it and perfect it, because He has clearly already put it in me. So, no more excuses for me.

Nope… I am horrible with music theory. I play guitar.. but just barely. I still can’t even play barre chords. I write music and take it to my keyboard playing friend who then toils for hours to figure out what the heck I’ve written.
This really would be a very beautiful song though!! Maybe YOU should play your keyboard and pray about the stuff in your heart while just playing whatever comes… and then begin singing it. 
I am in that spot that God has wooed me and has taken off my ‘masks’ to reveal myself in all my ugliness and then to show me who He created me to be. Now He is going after every speck in my heart. I have been meditating on the verse in Proverbs that says, “Those that are blameless in all their ways are a delight to the Lord.” It is so good for me to remember that He is delighted in me even when I’m not blameless – just because I love Him.
