God delights in you

Proverbs 8: 30-31(NIV)
30     Then I was constantly at his side.
I was filled with delight day after day,
    rejoicing always in his presence,
31 rejoicing in his whole world
    and delighting in mankind.

This was from the book of Proverbs. "I" referred to wisdom personified.

When I read this, I felt really loved by God.

I attended a course recently. I remember the instructor said this, "It takes 3 people to neutralise a person who is negative." This was according to a research done in America. Neutralise does not necessary mean to change a person's thinking to become positive. It basically just dilutes the negativity thoughts. In the natural, most people are drawn towards negativity. If you were to find one positive person in the midst of 2 negative people, very soon you will find even that one positive person will become negative.

In the beginning even before earth existed, wisdom was with God.Can you spend time with another person (who is so full of delight) constantly and not be influenced by him? For wisdom to say that she was filled with delight day after day, always rejoicing in God's presence, in God's whole world and delighting in mankind, can you imagine how much God really delight in ALL of us?
