Happy Valentine’s Day

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!

Love Without End

I know that my husband loves me even though he gets irritated with me sometimes. We are very different people. I am the one who wants everything in its place and calm, quiet times at home. He likes piles of things everywhere and to go and see new things. Nevertheless, we have managed to stay married for almost five decades, putting up with each other’s strange ways and loving each other in spite of it. Or maybe because of our differences? I have never been sure of that, but I am sure of his love for me.

I am equally convinced that God loves me and oftentimes, He does so in spite of me, my actions and my behavior. He loves me because He made me and knows exactly who I am and loves me anyway. That is something I can count on. I cannot see God, but I can feel His love for me each time He sends the Comforter to be with me and whisper the words from the Scripture that I need to hear at the right moment that I need it. I know that He loves me when I feel His protection all around me in scary situations. I feel His love surrounding me when I am feeling weak or tired, what I tell others is just “bone weary.” Yes, God loves me, but He also loves each of you and wants you to know it. He wants you to hold His love for you deep in your soul where it will always be with you, no matter the challenges you face in life. God is not a respecter of persons (no favoritism with Him), so His love is never-ending and unchanging for each of us. Good news! God loves me and you, sometimes in spite of us, but always because He is love!

May the Lord bless you and keep you and may His eternal love shine in your life, reaching to others who need to know that they, too, are loved!
