He is Excited About You
God is Excited About You
The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love,he will joy over thee with singing (Zephaniah 3:17).
Did you know that God is excited about you?
You need to take some time today to meditate on that. Some people only think of God’s wrath.
They believe He’s always mad at them.
They’ve been raised to think that God is only concerned about sin, and because there’s so much sin in the world, He’s mad at everybody; no! He’s not that way. God isn’t concerned about sin as many think. He was concerned about sin, and His concern about it made Him send Jesus.

When Jesus died on the cross, the problem of sin was dealt with forever. Therefore, for the believer in Christ, sin is no longer a problem. The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ brought an end to sin and ushered you into the life of righteousness:
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
So you see, God is not mad at you; He settled the sin-problem in, and through, Jesus Christ and said,
“…sin shall not have dominion over you…” (Romans 6:14).
What you need to do is to trust His righteousness; trust what Jesus came to do! You’re the fruit, the result of Christ’s redemptive work. Accept and receive His righteousness into your spirit, and live continually in His glory and grace, knowing that He’s not mad at you, but excited about you. 2 Corinthians 5:19 says,“To wit,that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” This lets you know the mind of God. He’s not even mad at the sinner, let alone you that are born again! Therefore, get excited about God, because He’s excited about you.
