What Brings God Joy?
List by Ami Hendrickson
The God of the universe is emotionally invested in us. He wants the best for us. He longs to comfort us. And He rejoices when we choose Him as our own.
What brings God joy? I do!
God rejoices over every sinner's repentance
Luke 15:6-7
When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
Jesus endured Earthly misery and suffering on the cross for the joys of eternity
Hebrews 12:2
Looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
God sings with joy over me
Zephaniah 3:17
The LORD, your God, is among you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.
