My Valentine to All


"In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins." -- 1 John 4:10 (NKJV)

I have been single, and I have been married. I am now a widow, which technically, is single again. One thing has never changed in all that time: God's love. He loved me first, before I ever knew or cared about Him. And God is so huge that He loved not only me, but also every single soul on the planet--past, present, and future. None of us ever has to feel slighted; He's got more than enough love to share with each person. It's amazing! This love is not like the pitiful expressions of love that us human beings display toward one another. It is very different, and I guess that is what can make it hard to receive. But the more that I have learned about God's love, the more I have found that every other love pales in comparison. That love, God's love, is what I wish to share with all on this Valentine's Day, no matter what situation you may find yourself in.
