I wa...oh how i love this translation of Zeph 3:17. I was in counseling a few years ago, grieving the old grief of losing a little brother when he was 2 1/2 (i was 12 and i am now 66). The counselor helped me ask Jesus where he was when my little brother died- and He was holding me - telling me of his love and how sad he was with me. Zeph 3:17 was the scripture God gave me at that time. It's very precious to me. Sometime things get really hard, but i can't quite get away from this scripture. Lovely - thank you. carol longenecker hiestandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14085635910854725798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8842811545737336269.post-52996247951877896212014-03-18T18:11:24.841-05:002014-03-18T18:11:24.841-05:00oh, such love to you, dear charla beth.

I had never heard that the direct translation from Hebrew in Zeph. 3:17 is that EXACT picture :: mouth open, laughing, arms wide, leaping in the air in a circle as He sings pure joyous delight over us. <br /><br />we are stripped and we are made clean. <3 Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05927558035256871985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8842811545737336269.post-22104851490951715552014-03-18T18:09:30.843-05:002014-03-18T18:09:30.843-05:00thank you for your sweetness, dear Alissa.

Your words have touched something deep inside of me. I guess I'm feeling more bound up in barbed wire than I realized. Oh, the picture of Him undone at the sight of me? I am undone at that image. Truly, He delights in ME??? That thought in itself strips me of rust, and wounds, and clenched fists.<br /><br />Thank you for this beautiful post. It has touched me deeply today.<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8842811545737336269.post-47337208501871305712014-03-17T11:02:08.276-05:002014-03-17T11:02:08.276-05:00"I don't want to be so good with a sword...."I don't want to be so good with a sword.
