To even speak of God's love is to debase it

It is well known that God, in His divine providence, chooses to entrust the most essential, lovely and eternal truth of His nature to the most dejected, ugly and ephemeral of all agents; namely, mankind. It is thus the most incredible of doctrines that, of all the forms Christ may have taken to reveal Himself, He chose the form of mankind to do so. How Satan must have licked his chops when he saw his greatest Adversary descend from His throne in heaven in the weakest form of man; a form which Satan had enjoyed almost free reign over from the time of Adam until the Great Coming. What a great mystery revealed in Isaiah 40:

And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed,
    and all flesh shall see it together.
    for the mouth of the LORD has spoken."
A voice says, "Cry!"
    And I said, "What shall I cry?"
All flesh is grass,
    and all its beauty is like the flower of the field.
The grass withers, the flower fades
    when the breath of the LORD blows on it;
    surely the people are grass.
The grass withers, the flower fades,
    but the word of our God will stand forever.

What greater mystery could there be than for the very Creator of the universe to come in the most humble form of His creation, the very form of which was said to be passing away as a mist when the sun arises? The flesh of Christ was imbued with the very essence of divinity so that every curse and blessing in the scriptures would be fulfilled in Him! He would bear both the curse of mortal flesh through nails and a crown of thorns, and the blessing of eternal life through His resurrection into a glorified body! As Acts 2 states:

"Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death He might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery."

It is good, Lord, that before our lips could ever utter praises to you, you knew them all completely. Who are we that you are mindful of us? Our flesh is not of your substance; how can we worship you? Our very words are base and defiled and fully incapable of praising your name; yet you accept them. They are fleeting yet you make your throne upon the praise of your children. You love our very frames and find pleasing our humble and tiny offerings. What can we give that you have not already given to us in full?

Thank you for your great love for us! Thank you for placing eternity into our hearts; for knowing us from eternity past; for engraving our names upon your hands and your heart; for writing your character onto our hearts! Such things are too great to comprehend. Eternity is not long enough to praise your holy name!

Praise The Lord, for He rejoices over you with singing!

C.S. Lewis (from Reflections on the Psalms) provides an amazing perspective on why we should desire to praise Jesus, the Lover of our souls:

"I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses, but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation. It is not out of compliment that lovers keep on telling one another how beautiful they are, the delight is incomplete till it is expressed."

It is written in Zephaniah 3:17 that,

"The Lord your God is with you,
    the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
    in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
    but will rejoice over you with singing."

He expresses His love and enjoyment for you by rejoicing over you with singing! How will you express your praise for Jesus today?
