Renew in his love

“The LORD, your God, is in your midst, a mighty savior; He will rejoice over you with gladness, and renew you in his love, He will sing joyfully because of you, as one sings at festivals.” (ZEP 3: 17-18)

If we can imagine the impossible—God “will sing joyfully because of us”; “He will rejoice over us with gladness” and “renew us in his love.” But this is true—“God is in our midst,” “a mighty savior” chose us as His beloved children. And there is no other reason than His love.
