Delighted

As I was rocking my 2 week old grandson last night and enjoying the specialness of having him close, the Father spoke to me and told me that He delights in me too, through every stage and season of my life. He is not in a hurry for one to pass and the next to come, but He enjoys who I am now, He enjoys who I am becoming.

Delighted

I watch you sleeping in my arms, hear your little noises, 
So dependent on the ones who love you for your every need,
And I am delighted in who you are as I love, nourish, and watch you become.

I watch you smile, coo, look deep into my eyes, try to reach for that toy,
And I am delighted in who you are as I love nourish, and watch you become.

I watch you get up on those knees, crawl toward me, and show me those little teeth in your happy smile,
And I am delighted in who you are as I love, nourish and watch you become.

I watch you take those first steps, as I sing," Happy Birthday 1 yr. old", and as you devour that cake,
And I am delighted in who you are as I love, nourish and watch you become.

I watch you as you repeat my words, give me kisses, and take that broom and sweep the kitchen,
And I am delighted in who you are as I love, nourish, and watch you become.

I watch you learn to count, play with friends, and learn to ride a bike...
And I am delighted in who you are as I love, nourish, and watch you become.

I watch you begin school, learn your multiplication tables, pratice baseball at the park,
And I am delighted in who you are as I love, nourish, and watch you become.

I watch as you give your heart to Jesus, worship and dance in His love, do science projects,
And I am delighted in who you are as I love nourish and watch you become.

I watch as your light for Jesus shines brighter, as you learn to drive a car, and as you mow the lawn for me,
And I am delighted in who you are as I love nourish and watch you become.

I watch as you develop talent and discover the gifts the Lord has given you, play in the worchip team,
   and as you walk down that aisle with your high school diploma in hand,
And I am delighted in who you are as I love, nourish and watch you become.

I watch as you pray and seek the Lord's direction, as you choose a college, and as I wave good-bye,
And I am delighted in who you are as I love, nourish and watch you become.

I watch as you lead others to Christ, prophesy, and love Jesus wildly,
And I am delighted in who you are as I love, nourish and watch you become.

I watch as you fall in love with the woman the Lord has chosen to be your wife, and as you walk down that
  aisle and say,"I do."
And I am delighted in who you are as I love, nourish, and watch you become.

I watch as your faith grows stronger as you provide for your family, and how the Father is growing you as 
  you make wise decisions,
And I am delighted in who you are as I love, nourish and watch you become.

I watch as the Lord blesses you with children, as you discover the joy of being a Daddy, and as you 
  discover manhood as you love, give and serve,
And I am delighted in who you are as I love, nourish and watch you become.

All the stages of life, all the processes of growth, all the seasons of leaning are special to me,
Because I love you, I am nourishing you with my prayers and words,
I delight in you.

Your Daddy in heaven delights in you too,
In every stage, in every season.
He delights as you explore, discover, and as you become all He planned for you.
His love and nurture for you never stops flowing, but continues to bubble up as He desires to overflow
  you with His goodness!

Forever Love!
