Do You Like Me, Lord?
Psalm 18:17-19: “He delighted in me” (v.19). “Do you like me, Lord?” I wrote in my journal. “You love me, I know, but do you like me? Show me in your Word where it indicates that you like me?” Early one morning, a year later, I sat down to study at my desk. Something I read caught my eye. “He rescued me, because he delighted in me.” (Ps. 18:19) “That’s really nice,” I thought. I exchanged the “he” to “I” and the “me” to “you”. “I rescued you, because I delighted in you.” The dictionary defines delight in as “to incline to, to be pleased with, to favor, to like.” I grabbed my journal and pinned these words: “Thank you, God. You answered my prayer, the longing of my heart. Something inside me is opening …unclenching …flying! When I was a child, someone close to me said he would not love me if I were not in his family. In my childish mind I determined I was loved out of duty, and not because I was worth liking. I must have transferred this belief to you. Now I see that you actually want to like me. Thank you.” God loves me. God loves you. He likes us, too. Lord, thank you for delighting in me. Joan C. Webb
