The LORD will take great delight in you;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing. (Zephaniah 3:17)
"These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you,
and that your joy may be full." (John 15:11)
From the Book "Following Jesus isn't supposed to weigh you down; it's supposed to make you dance. Following Jesus isn't supposed to limit your fun; it's supposed to open you up to freedom you have never known before. Following Jesus isn't a burden to carry, even when you carry your cross; to follow Jesus is certainly to know suffering and trouble and dying to self and struggling with doubt, but fundamentally-fundamentally!-following Jesus is about delight. Jesus delights in you; and Jesus loves it when you feel the same about him. That's what following Jesus is all about."
