As a single woman on Valentines Day – I am so truly appreciative of His love!

What a beautiful story. Sometimes we get caught up in the whole whirlwind of romantic love and forget about God’s love. Thanks for sharing.

So true Hannah! I for one do get caught up in the idea of finding my soul mate that I forget that He has already found me and loves me unconditionally!
I just want to proclaim my Love for the Lord in the spirit of Valentines Day – thank you so much Lord for your selfless love that knows no boundaries!

That’s what I tried to concentrate on this Valentines Day – the Love that God has for us and the love he commanded us to have for others. How can we say we love God whom we have not seen and hate our brother who we have seen. This is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us while we were sinners.

The Best Love in The World!
I was thinking about God’s love the other day, how utterly large and encompassing it is. I couldn’t get my mind around it; how Jesus could love me so much that He would make such an immense sacrifice on my behalf. I thought of the pain He suffered, all because He wanted to give me the chance to spend a life with Him, both here on earth and then eternally in heaven. What a sacrifice for little insignificant me, a sinner, so undeserving of such great mercy and love.
Why is it so hard for us to grasp or understand His love for us? Why do some people find it difficult to accept, even though it is offered so freely by our Savior? That morning I wasn’t having difficulty accepting His love; after all these years I’ve come to fully embrace it now. My selfish human mind may not fully comprehend it, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t accept it with my arms open wide. That morning I experienced an overwhelming sense of gratitude since all He asks in return is that I love Him too, with all my heart, mind and soul.
What a little price to pay for such a great gift! There I was, crying my eyes out on I-75, my heart swollen with joy and an indescribable love I felt for my Father in Heaven.
Don’t let Satan rob you of the glory of receiving and accepting God’s love. Don’t let him fool you into thinking that God could never love you because of all the terrible things you’ve done. That is a lie. Satan is the father of lies (John 8:44) and he’s always trying his best to entrap us in his lies. Remember, John 3:16 says, “For God so loved THE WORLD…” that is every single person on earth from your home to Timbuktu. I know one of the hindrances is that the Gospel is so simple in its truth that man fails to see the power in its simplicity. God doesn’t make it difficult; we make it difficult.
On this Valentine’s Day, let us not get bogged down with the world’s view of love. Of course, spend time with your loved ones and thank God for placing them in your life. But I pray you will also take some time to ponder on the greatest love ever shown. Revel in it and give thanks to your Father for what He has done for you. Maybe you will be blown away like I was that Sunday morning.
