Delightful Love Letters

Psalm 37:4-5. Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.  Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 

Over fifty-two years ago I received my engagement ring in the mail, which was the result of a one-month courtship before the Air Force parted us.

The word “Delight” in the text reminds me of the eight months Gale and I wrote love letters. I delighted in  reading and writing them, always anxious to receive and write the next one. I even left a lipstick kiss on mine.
 
God wants us to delight ourselves in Him, even in our troubles. As we read the Bible and praise Him, it should came natural to commit our ways to Him.

The relationship of the believer with  Jesus Christ should be as intimate as a love letter. His love was written in red on a cruel cross for our sins. No greater love has ever been displayed but that of the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior for our Salvation.

Give  all that is wrong in your life to Jesus. Delight, commit, and trust Him to give you the desires of your heart. He loves you. If you don't know Him ask Him to forgive your sins and come into your heart. Trust Him.
