Delight?

For the Lord takes delight in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory.

-- Psalm 149:4

It is still hard to image that God delights in us. But, God says he does. So, what would it be that makes this feel impossible or untrue?  And, how do we combat how we so often feel with such a truth?

The Christian faith is meant to be lived moment by moment. It isn't some broad, general outline -- it's a long walk with a real Person. Details count: passing thoughts, small sacrifices, a few encouraging words, little acts of kindness, brief victories over nagging sins.

-- Joni Eareckson Tada

What we choose to believe matters, because it informs the choices we make.
