Enjoyment

We are pleasure seekers, continuously searching for the treasures of life to bring enjoyment to the soul.  Where your treasure is, there your heart is also.  God Himself is the Supreme Pleasure Seeker. His Heart is Eternally Fixed on His Own Enjoyment.

“For the Lord taketh Pleasure in His people:  He will Beautify the meek with Salvation.”  Before the universe existed, before the reality of time and space;  and creatures and things, God was Perfectly Filled with His Good Pleasure.  His Enjoyment was in His thoughts of His Love to His children who were to come.  He Knew every one of them by name.  He Was filled with Joy as He Fashioned every moment of their life, and Furnished them with circumstances and events that would Provide them with absolute evidences of His Love towards  them.

“Declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times before time, the things that are not yet done, saying ‘My counsel shall stand and I will do all My Pleasure:  Yea I have Spoken it, I will also Bring it to pass;  I have Purposed it, I will also do it.”  Divine, Complete, Perfect and Infinite Enjoyment.  All things Determined before time for His Good Pleasure.  His Enjoyment towards the children.  Joy for the children as they come into existence in time, discovering that they have always  existed as a reality in His Own Heart of Love towards them.  Known and Loved by Him for as long as He has Eternally Existed.

“Fear not little flock; for it is the Father’s Good Pleasure to give you the Kingdom;  it is for His own Personal Enjoyment to give you the Indescribable Gift of His Kingdom, His Own Son in you.  What Joy in Believing, what quiet Delight in knowing that all things are yours because all things are Treasured up  in Christ Who Lives and Moves and Has His Being in the little flock.”  What comfort to know that in Him we have been given freely an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose and good pleasure of Him Who works all things after the counsel of His Own Will.

Freedom from guilt, freedom from wrath, freedom from condemnation, freedom from trying to please Him, freedom from the yoke of “doing”, free from the law, Free in Him Who Is the Source of all our Good Works.  What Enjoyment.  What Joy.  To Him be the Glory.  To Him Who Has Loved His little flock with an Everlasting Love.
