If today is a day that you are feeling lonely and unloved, remember this verse. Nothing can separate you from God’s love, ever! He is right there if you just reach out to Him and tell Him honestly that you need Him, today and everyday. Let Him show you what real love is all about. It’s not hearts and flowers and chocolates. Real love went to a cross and sacrificed Himself so that we can eternally be with the Father. It’s our choice to accept Jesus’s sacrifice, repent of our sins and live in the presence of His great love for us forever. Repentance just means telling God you are genuinely sorry for all you have done in your life that was wrong, sinful, disobedient. You don’t have to make a list. He knows. Just say with your whole heart that you are sorry. Then, you show Him you mean it by turning away from those things and starting a new life with Him. Find a good, Bible-believing church, talk to the pastor and tell him that you need a mentor to disciple you. Read your Bible every day and let God’s Word minister to you and grow you into the person He created you to be. Then you will know His love and that will sustain you through hard times, lonely times, heartbreak and health problems. God’s love is forever. So, give God your heart this Valentine’s Day. That’s all He wants is a relationship with you!

God’s love isn’t a feeling. He chooses to love us, sometimes in spite of us, but always because He created us and truly, deeply loves us. Choose love for God and eternal life with Him.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
