Hephzibah: My Delight Is In Her

"Unless the Holy Spirit shows up, I have NOTHING to give you."

~ Beth Moore~

 The quote above goes deep with me because that's exactly the way I feel: unqualified unless Jesus shows up. I'm in the middle of learning these lessons I'm sharing with you, and in sharing them, I feel like God's writing them upon my heart in a way that will strengthen my resolve to really learn them and then live them.

We all need to know we're loved, that someone, somewhere cares. I don't know about you, but I need it constantly. I'm not always faithful to go to the one place that promises comfort, healing and well, love. As I talk with people around me, I realize that many of us are in the same boat. But I'm hoping that with this blog, you and I can learn to go to that place together.

Why the odd name? Because we need to know God delights in us and what that really means for us as we live our daily lives. So, whether you're old or young, man or woman, single or married, rich or poor, or whatever, I hope this blog ministers to you.


This site is for anyone who needs to know that you are sought after, you are loved, and you are precious. The God of Heaven and Earth rejoices over you and to say He wants you to depend on Him is an understatement;


 "Man does not live on bread alone but on the very word that comes from the mouth of God." Deuteronomy 8:3

Together, we are going to learn what that means for us personally.


I pray God blesses you and me as we go when He says,

 "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

 Matthew 11:28

I'm ready for some rest, how about you?

"For Zion's sake, I will not keep silent,
for Jerusalem's sake I will not remain quiet,
till her righteousness shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch.
The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.
You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD's hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate.
But you will be called Hephzibah (my delight is in her) and your land Beulah (married);
for the LORD your God will take delight in you, and your land will be married.
As a young man marries a maiden, so your sons (Builder) will marry you;
as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you....
They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the LORD;
and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted."
Isaiah 62:1-5, 12
