Delight

I love Pinterest. I have become that girl who can't get through hardly any sentence without "so I saw this thing on Pinterest...." It's a slight addiction.

One of my favorite things about it is the faith section. We all know my obsession with pretty. Combine that with bible verses and I am a kid in a candy store! It's where my craft inspiration came from this weekend, and a huge source of encouragement for me.

Anyways I saw this one a few days ago and have been marinating over it for a little bit.

Definition of delight:

v. please (someone) greatly
n. great pleasure

Synonyms:
v. rejoice-gladden-enjoy
n. pleasure-enjoyment-joy-treat-delectation-relish

So basically "Give yourself great pleasure through the Lord, and He will satisfy your heart"

It is a new way for me to think about this one. Usually I read it as "Focus on God and He will give you what you want." and I never really thought about that desire being Him. Yet I think that is the case. For our deepest desire is the one that longs for the Lord. St. Augustine said "Our hearts are restless until they rest in You."

Even if our hearts are not aware of it they long for God. For we are creatures of crave. We want. All the time we want. And we want more. Our hearts long for something everlasting. Something that will be able to fulfill the massive hole in our hearts. We may try to fill it with money, or power, or fame, but will find that they don't satisfy that hunger. You could place the entire world in that hole and still have an infinite amount of space left over.

Enter God. The only thing infinite in a finite world. He is the the only thing with enough substance to fill that hole for good.

So learn about Him! Pray to Him! Let Him fill you with His Spirit and Light. DELIGHT.

Once we delight, or rejoice, or enjoy the Lord, and that sensation doesn't go away (because the Lord is never ending), then our desire is fulfilled.

He is an everlasting delight, a joy, a treat that goes on forever, a pleasure that can power the heart and change the world.
