If you are a Bible-defined real Christian you are cherished by God! That fact should make you shouting happy! Cherished is how God views you as his son or daughter!
As exceptional as that is, God will also take great delight in you, quiet you with his love and sing over you with rejoicing:
The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing. (Zep 3:17)
Your future in his holy presence, if you remain in Christ, is best described as Paradise! Imagine that. But getting back to being cherished by God, we can only guess at the awesomeness of what that entails, but it is VERY exciting. Here is Biblical support that God’s children are cherished:
See how your enemies are astir, how your foes rear their heads. With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish. (Psa 83:2,3)

Psa. 83:2,3 states that God’s enemies conspire against his people, the ones God cherishes! To further remove all ambiguity about who Psa. 83:3 refers to, please note God’s people now are Christians. (The Christ rejecting Jews are not God’s chosen people anymore.)
God Is NOT Like Us
Remember, though we are cherished by God, God’s ways and thoughts are not like ours (Isa. 55:8,9). He is also a testing God and those tests can be painful (1 Pet.4:12) for those cherished by God! In this life now, the saints will continue to face many hardships and problems, as we follow Jesus. It was like that for all the disciples, even the most faithful like Paul, who shed his blood at least nine times early in his ministry! We remain cherished by God, as we remain a follower of Jesus Christ — one who is running his spiritual race with perseverance. Rejoice that your name is written in the book of life (Lk. 10:20).
