We would be wise to ask not just “what does He require?” or “what will He
permit?” but “what does He love? What delights His
heart?”
Happily the truth about God’s heart, His
delight and pleasure, is plainly stated in the New Testament. (In each of the
verses I’ll quote below, the verb “to be well pleased” is used – eudokeo. I’m highlighting it in red. And
notice that in each case, it is God who is “well pleased.”)
