This month we celebrate Valentine’s Day with cards, candy, and flowers for our loved ones. Do you remember handing out little cupid cards and candy hearts to your friends in school? Each kid had a stack of little paper valentines and candies to bring home that day. It was an incredibly special day, a joyful day. Even small acts of love bring people joy. We are children of God the Father who loves us more than we can imagine. And He enjoys giving us good gifts. We are created in His image, and He gave us the breath of life. God is merciful and gracious, and His love never fails. Loving the Lord is an adventure; we can never know the depth of His unlimited love. His desire is to have an intimate relationship with us. God reveals His secrets to those who are most attentive to Him. Faith rises as we wait on the Lord. The Holy Spirit teaches us all spiritual things. He is our wonderful Advisor, and powerful Helper full of wisdom and strength. God’s blessings are beyond measure. If you want to experience a taste of heaven on earth, sit at Jesus’ feet and soak in His unfailing love. He wants to forgive your sins and hold you close to His heart. God leads us to a peaceful, restful place in His presence where there is fullness of joy as we soak in His glorious love. Take a refreshing dip into God’s grace and truth that will wash the grime of worldliness and compromise off of your mind and heart. He calls us to come away from our busyness and bathe in the healing love that renews our weary souls. God sent an important message of love and hope to all people. We can be forgiven and free through His Son, Jesus Christ. Psalm 31:19 proclaims God’s wonderful mercy. “Your goodness is so great! You have stored up blessings for those who honor You.” Jesus came to give us an abundant life and eternal life in God’s kingdom. One day Jesus will return for His beloved bride. So, receive all that God has for you and don’t settle for less. “…. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.” 1John 4:16 God will never fail you. The Holy Spirit has gifts for every believer that will build up our spirits and edify the church. We must get rid of distractions that hinder us from taking time to sit in God’s presence. The Father is intimately acquainted with His children. Earthly fathers know how to give good gifts to their children. How much greater is our heavenly Father who daily loads us up with benefits and blessings. Too many people think that God is disappointed in them. Some Christians are hindered from receiving God’s love because they are holding onto guilt. But if we confess our sins, the Word of God declares that He keeps no record of wrongs. That is true love. “As high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is God’s love for those who fear Him.” Psalm 103:11 Jesus intercedes for the saints and encourages us to run our race on earth and finish well. He has chosen us to be victorious overcomers because He defeated the evil one. The King of kings is seated on His throne in heaven. Those who believe that He is God’s only Son who died for their sins are seated in heaven as well. “God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms with Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:6 It is by grace that we have been saved from death, sin, and hell. Good triumphed over evil. Mercy triumphed over judgment! Divine love brought reconciliation between God and man. Have troubles and offenses led you into despair or bitterness? Soak in God’s love that brings healing to the soul. Love the Lord, all you who are faithful. Experience God’s extravagant love and shout for joy!
