The Lord celebrates us!
He likes us, a whole lot. Think of someone you love and you have recently lavished your love on them. Maybe you bought them presents or took them to lunch or threw a party for them. Can you see it? It’s a good time. You and your friend are happy and laughing and just enjoying life. Now put God in the picture. See Him there too. See Him as the one giving the biggest gifts, throwing an outlandish party, holding back no expense. See Him telling everyone how great you are and how you are His beloved child. See Him laughing and playing fun party games with everyone!
That is our God! He is the one who spared no cost to have us reconciled to Him. He is the one who sent His Son, His only Son to die for us so we can live. Really live! Not a “get through kind of life” but a life full of abundance and parties, a life of joy and peace, a life of prosperity and happiness, a really good life!
