Valentines Day, that wonderful day when we attempt to convey to our sweetie how much we love and cherish them is rapidly approaching. Yes, it is a wonderful day, full of love and romance. But, too often, the pursuit of romance with our mate is limited to this one day, and the rest of the year is "the same old same old".
I love Lori. I love her with all my heart. In fact, I can say that my love for her grows stronger every day. But if I don't show her that I love her, how will she know? A truly successful romantic relationship requires a constant effort of "wooing" and "romancing" our spouse or mate. Unfortunately, romance seems to be fast becoming a lost art. If we truly want to have a strong relationship, we need to learn that we have to pursue that relationship daily. After all, isn't one of our deepest desires to feel like we are special in our mate's eyes?
God is wanting to enter into a special relationship with us on a daily basis. He doesn't just show us how much He loves us just once a year, He gives us His love daily. He constantly pursues us. He constantly woos us. He wants us to be His Valentine. He wants us to feel like we are special to Him, BECAUSE WE ARE!! In fact, we are so special to Him that He sent his only son to die for us! 1John 4: 8-10 says "8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins."
What greater love could there be? Are you ready to accept His love every day, and likewise show it to others?
Happy Valentines Day!!
