Hahaha! This just made my day and completely inspired this post! Listen, listen!
Like Peppermint Patty, everyone asks the same question every day. Maybe even twice a day.
"Have you been given a lot of Valentines [Love] in your time?"
My answer, too, would be,
"No. I've never received a single Valentine."
That is, if we were talking specifically, and only, about Valentines Day. But not today. Valentines Day is a great day to express our affections to the people we love. Sure, some say it's just a card industry day, but only if you make it that way.
However, there of many of us who don't believe that anyone cares about us or even loves us. Then, we go digging around others lives and comparing their love life to ours. Trying to find ways on how to get our own valentines, and love.
Peppermint Patty said it perfectly though!
"I should talk to someone who is used to getting [giving] Valentines!"
And, there is only One who does it perfectly every day: Jesus Christ!
Think about it, He is the giver and creator of Love. And, if you think about it, receives a lot of love too! {Psalm 18:1} Whom better to learn from then the master! The only reason love even exists and we know it to be real is because He loved us first! {1 John 4:19}
Turn to him for guidance in your life, and love. Take direction from Him and don't wait for others to love you before you love others. And take in confident reassurance, that you have the ultimate Valentine in your life, forever! He wants you to be His forever Valentine. {John 15:9}
From the ever poetic words of Veggie Tales:
"God made you special and he Loves you very much!"God bless and have a wonderful day!
A delightful way to share His love!
