Ecstatic Joy

Ecstatic Joy

by Melissa Campbell

Jesus 

came     to     show

God

loves.

God laughs.

He dances wild.

He woos romance.

God runs hard to greet us,

reaches low to lift us up.  Soft, he

sings love and comes to rest in humble

hearts, Word-welcomed flesh, while we rejoice

with feet touching earth, our hearts spilling joy like light

beams burst through cracks ecstatic, basking full in Fatherly

 adoration

because He

first loved and

gave His Son for all.

Oh, how God rejoices over us.

In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:  “Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak. The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” ~ Zepheniah 3:16-17 (NKJ)

A small offering for The High Calling's Christmas in Verse and  "Rejoice"- Blog Carnival.
