truly delightful

Delight is really just another form of grace.

BY MADORA KIBBE

GOD'S ANGEL MESSAGES always reach us in ways that we can best understand. This must be why my inspiration so often comes in puns. First, God gets me to smile. Then, He shows me the way. To keep smiling.

For example, just the other day during my morning walk, I remember the air being fresh and light and clear. And I distinctly heard this thought: "Stay in delight."

Now you may be wondering, What does that mean? What is delight? Well, it's joy, great pleasure. Delight is bliss. Who of us wouldn't want to be called delightful? But how often do we really feel God's joy in us? Not often enough, I suspect.
