Joy unspeakable and full of glory

Dissertation is hard, and the progress somehow cannot go any faster although I've tried. Reading Matthew chpter 3 today, and this lovely verse came to me.

And behold, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I have found My delight. (Matt. 3:17)

While prayreading it, I enjoyed that the Son is "the Beloved" and also it is in the Son that the Father has found His delight. 

My prayer was, Lord, make me hide in this lovely One so you can also find Your delight in me. I admit most of the time I'm just a sinner. My thoughts, my attitudes, my concerns....all who I am is disappointing, but hiding in this wonderful One covers all these. 

Later I took a shower, then this hymn came to me. 

It is joy unspeakable and full of glory,
Full of glory, full of glory;
It is joy unspeakable and full of glory,
And the half has never yet been told!

I repeated the chorus several times, and my tears came down. Although doing dissertaion is not easy at all, being in Europe and serving the Lord here through my study are such a privilege! It is, indeed, joy unspeakable and full of glory. 

Thank You Lord I can study and serve You here! How glorious.
