God Is In a Good Mood

If you had to guess what mood God is in, how would you respond? Sad, angry, reserved, stoic, joyful? To some people, the thought that God is in a good mood can be offensive. Many believers are apprehensive of what Jesus actually thinks of them. Here is one representation of Jesus that is probably more accurate than we realize.

Jesus not only loves you, he likes you!

Even though Jesus was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief (cf. Isaiah 53:3), he was the most joyful person ever to walk the earth. Tax collectors, prostitutes, and other "sinners" flocked to him because their spirits were uplifted and hearts made glad in his presence. God is for you and is overjoyed with you! Let us turn our affections to him and be filled with joy for it is his kindness which leads us to repentance.

"In your presence is fullness of joy." Psalm 16:11
