LOVE

Happy Valentine's Day!

I love you. Did you know that God loves you too?

Contrary to what some people are raised to believe, God is not a huge angry monster, waiting with His fist to strike down anyone who thinks a wrong thought. He is loving, kind and greatly misunderstood.

He created each and every one of us with a unique genetic imprint that is entirely our own. He spent thought and loving care on each blueprint for every person. He even knew what we would be like before we were in our mother's wombs.

His love is timeless, and endless. It reaches to the highest heavens and the farthest stars. It even could reach down into the deepest black hole or even the deepest hell and pull you out.

You are thought about by God as many times a day as there are grains of sand on a beach. He knows you with all your faults. And yet He loves you. Won't you love Him back? He's waiting!

One of my favorite songs is by a singer-composer named Twila Paris. It's called "Every Heart That is Breaking". Some of the words go like this:

"Every heart that is breaking tonight...is the heart of a child that He holds in His sight...
And oh how He longs, to hold in His Arms, every heart that is breaking tonight."

Is your heart breaking tonight? He sees you. He loves you. He is wrapping His arms of love around you. He loves you with a never ending love and He will always be there for you. Get to know Him. He is only a prayer away.

Love,
Faith
