It is an exciting day. Sure there are so many out there that have negative views toward Valentines Day, saying things like it is a day that's kept up in order for so many stores out there to make an extra buck every year, but, I'd say its a good excuse to go out and express your love to your significant other. In fact, Valentines Day should be everyday! Why need an excuse to show someone you love them, just do it!
The reason I am so excited about Valentines Day is because of the fact that it is Monica and mine's first Valentines Day together as a married couple. BUT! That is not the reason why I write this blog (as special as that is to us), I actually have something deep in my heart burning for you single people out there.
I know that every year this is a day you dread. Some are just irritated by it because you hate to think about the fact that you don't have a special someone in your life yet, and others take a deeper hurt to this day, others are longing for their beds, ready to cry themselves to sleep because they thought they'd have someone by now; they thought they'd be married by now, they thought they'd have kids right now.
I will be 100% honest with you, my heart hurts for you. My heart hurts that you feel alone, my heart hurts that you don't have someone to hold you and tell you that they love you today. But I would hope that you hear me out just now, and I hope that you receive the love that I want to offer you and leave you with, a greater love that no other person can give.. including me..
How real are these words to you? 'We love Him because He first loved us' (1John4:19). Really, think about it, how REAL are they to you? Many who have put their faith in God have put faith in the fact that the Bible is a Love Letter from God, full of many promises. Is this a promise you believe? Do you love God? Understand, He loves you.
You may be looking for a specific person to show you love, Understand that there is no other place to look but to God. If you look for a person to love you, their well is going to run dry, but God's well carries an infinite supply of love. Please do not take this lightly, believe it, and you'll receive that love from Him if you asks it of Him. 'If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?' (Luke11:11)
I know that the temptation is also there to look around at other couples, and so much wish you had what they had. But understand that the fact that you are alone now is a blessing from God for the time being. We may think that blessings are receiving the things we want from God, but blessings are actually things that conform us more to the image of God, including all the hard things. You may feel, or think you are alone, but you are not. God has never left you, and He is there right beside you ready to show you so much love. 'Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you.' Hebrews 13:5
Understand, God has got a love song He is ready to share with you today, just listen. He is ready to make this day, and every day special for you, receive His love. Fall deep in love with Him and let Him love you, trust that one day He will bring you someone in His time that will love you, and will join you in receiving love from Him, and showing love to Him together.
Love Him today, and Let Him love you! Happy Valentines Day, God loves you and you have no idea how special you are to Him!
