"We be His bliss, we be His meed, we be His worship, we be His crown."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 22)
The greatest reward that Jesus got for all His hard work in the Passion, all the suffering and turmoil and pain, the greatest reward was all of us! He did all that hard work and suffered so much so that we could be in a deep and satisfying love relationship with Him. That is all He wanted. That is what gave Him the most joy. We are truly His joy and delight. We are truly His reward and gain. We are truly like a crown He loves, for He loves to hold us high and show us off to all creation as the ones He loves so much. We are simply delightful to Him!
"The Lord will hold you in His hand for all to see - a splendid crown in the hand of God."
Isaiah 62:3 (NLT)
A Prayer: Thank You that I am so dear to You, Lord! You are so dear to Me!
