Oh the feel of such a word!

Delight. 

The first verse to mind:

Delight yourself in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Delighting is immersion.

It is time.

To delight in my soul is to be filled with joy to the uttermost possible. To live like everything poured in is pouring out.

To delight in love, both mine to give and receive.

Delight encompasses my family. My husband. My babies.

Delight is the epitome of the deepest happiness of heart.

Delight knows no boundaries; it cannot be restrained or constrained.

Delight holds the key to the lock of love; once turning, it opens a gift the likes of which have  never before been seen.

Streaming beyond wildness. Squealing without apprehension.

Delight in the Lord results in a change.  The heart is made new!

Delight is simply…

revolutionary.

    Oh! I loved this…delight knows no boundaries…
    …for when we are delighting in Him…how can our hearts stop? It is a continual rush of awe and wonder and somehow we come to grasp that delight fills hearts and joy overflows.

    It’s a lifestyle–this delight…an opportunity to worship, daily. In everything.

    Blessings,

    I tried to subscribe in a reader and the link just resets your homepage. No RSS feed. 🙁 Thought you’d like to know. I’ll try again next time I’m through.

      Beth Moore talked about this pouring scenario in James Week 5. Couldn’t get it out of my head yesterday. Thank you for letting me know!!

  10. So beautiful! I immediately thought of that verse too. I love it all, especially this line, “Delight is the epitome of the deepest happiness of heart.” Oh, to know the Father’s delight in us.

  11. This was well-written. It flowed nicely. It sounded like a poem right out of a book.

      Amazing how words on a page can flow easily when you just write what you feel without re-thinking. I need to do 5 Minute Friday more often!
