Description

What does it mean to truly delight in God, beyond duty or obligation? In this final episode of the Safe in the Father's Heart series, Elizabeth and Kimberly explore the profound difference between serving God and delighting in Him—and how recognizing His delight in us transforms everything.

Delighting in God, they explain, isn't about manufacturing happy feelings. "Delighting isn't something you've got to muster up." It's recognizing God's joy in you first, then responding. The hosts share practical ways to cultivate awareness of God's presence—from personalizing scripture promises to finding songs that speak His truth, from inviting Him into mundane tasks to simply making space to enjoy His company like you would a friend.

The episode culminates with the powerful truth that our woundedness, when healed, becomes our greatest ministry tool. As "wounded healers," we can represent the Father's heart to others from a place of authenticity rather than obligation.

Have you recognized God's delight in you today? How might that awareness change everything?
