Deliriously Joyful

It's a great morning. I read seven of the Psalms of David this morning and was reminded of just how much I have for which to celebrate. Not just celebrate privately inside of me, but jump up and down, dance and sing, raise my hands kind of celebrate. I am keenly aware of just how much God has changed my innermost being and made me a new man. How He saved me, disciplined me, built my life from the ground up. When I was used and abandoned, my Father was there. It has taken years of healing, teaching, failures and successes, but He was always there. Today, today I am His and I am here. I stand tall because of Him. I lift my face to the sky because of Him. Without Him I'd be in the pit of hell with Satan. But my Father would not let up. He kept at me. I am so thankful I had the good sense to always reach out to Him. I don't know why. I truly don't. Why did I continue to do that and not others? It is a mystery to me. But I don't care. I did it and He blessed. There was a lot in the Psalms I read this morning that spoke to me, but I'm reminded of one particular one right now: "...He gets angry once in a while, but across a lifetime there is only love. The nights of crying your eyes out give way to days of laughter", Psalm 30:4.
