Our Father, how you delight in pleasure!
Your eyes are full of light and they beam with satisfaction over your firstborn Son in whose life I am fully included, by the grace of your eternal purpose.
I must then conclude that you beam over me!
I am your beloved in whom your soul delights.
Your smile is a dove from Heaven resting upon me all the days of my life.
Oh my soul!
It's overwhelmed in the glory of your uniquely begotten Son and it trembles at the revelation of my life inseparably woven together with his!
May I forever be fixated on the endless bosom of your incomprehensible love; restricted by no limitation, unchangeable by nature, yet abounding to the fullest most infinite measure - ever multiplying in a dance of freedom.
Time and space cannot contain this love, still you have chosen for it to dwell - to live and move and have its being - in me!
May the knowledge of this most holy love consume my thoughts and burst forth in an adoration for my neighbors that exposes the value you have placed upon them, the treasure that you've hidden in their earthen vessels - Christ - the hope of glory.
I echo the cry of Paul, "Oh! The depth of the riches and the wisdom and knowledge of God!"
And the shock of David, "Such knowledge is too wonderful for me!"
Yet the Spirit of wisdom and revelation and understanding you've given, that my entire being may drink of that which you have always known to be true.
How can I contain my worship of you? Your love has made it impossible!
Heart,
beat wildly from my chest!
Belly,
Spill those rivers of living water!
Soul,
Soar with freedom amidst your heavenly home!
Mind,
Pour forth new ecstasies of understanding!
Lips,
Declare to a generation not yet born that He has done it! Jesus has bestowed all of his affections and all of his joy and all of his Father's pleasure on the human race.
Rejoice! And I'll say it again, Rejoice
