Hello again!
It seemed silly to be doing a blog about singleness and not do a post on Valentine’s Day! I was unsure what to write as I do not yet feel inspired to write about my own journey again but this morning I had a (God given?) idea. I want to tell you just how much you are loved. Even if you do not have a Valentine today, God is the perfect example of love. He feels about you the way you long someone else would. This is not a cheesy flowers and teddy bear kind of love, but a deep and passionate craving for your attention. I read recently that the thought of perfect Almighty God loving us is actually quite terrifying. So, here are a few attributes of God to remind you of how much you are valued and loved, on Valentine’s Day and forever.
His love is unending- ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love.’ (Jeremiah 31v3)
He craves spending time with you- ‘And do you suppose God doesn’t care? The proverb has it that ‘He’s a fiercely jealous lover’ and what He gives in love is far better than anything else you’ll find.’ (James 4v46)
He rejoyces over you- ‘He will rejoyce over you; He will sing and be joyful about you.’ (Zephaniah 3v17). This verse in the original language literally means ‘to spin like a spinning top and whoop with joy!’
He gave His life for you- ‘For God so loved the world, He gave His only Son.’ (John 3v16)
He made you and thinks you are great- ‘I praise you because you made me in an amazing and wonderful way… you saw my body as it was formed. All the days planned for me were written in your book before I was one day old.’ (Psalm 139v14).
He is faithful- ‘If we are faithless, He remains faithful’ (2 Timothy 2v13).
He will never leave you- ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you’ (Deuteronomy 31v6-8)
He only wants good things for you- ‘and we know that for those that love God all things work together for good.’ (Romans 8v28).
Wow, if that isn’t love, I don’t know what is! I hope this encourages you, single or not.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
