we can sometimes skip over and miss the true meaning and depth of what LOVE is.
Love is a complete commitment - a deep and abiding wanting to be with that person, literally, forever, no matter what!
Saying I love you and meaning it from the depths of your heart, then hearing the responding "I love you too.", can truly be a landmark experience.
It is definitely a landmark moment when you really get that God loves You....forever, faithfully, before you loved Him, regardless of your past, present or future mistakes....a grace that welcomes and forgives....an attitude of joy and desire for your good, of deeply desiring you to talk with Him, to walk with Him.....in fact God loves you so much that He reconciled your life to Himself by sending His One and Only Son, Jesus to pay the price for your sin ( and mine too).
This love is not given lightly or off hand, it was planned into creation because He knew you would need to be reconciled to Him.
During these days of Valentines, when love statements come on pieces of candy, and paper hearts and newspaper declarations....take just a moment and breathe in the fact that God loves you with an everlasting love...you! Just as you are....a love so deep and faithful that He gave you everything and eternity before you even knew you needed it.
Will you say, "I love you too" to God's declaration of love?
When we understanding Who loves us, we can share that love with others.
A very Blessed and Happy Valentines to You and those you love!
