My Lord, My Valentine : Your love never gives up on me

No, not ever!

Never ever will You give up on me.  You see the potential in me. You see all that I can be. You don’t give up when I’m rigid and difficult to mould. Not even when I stubbornly turn away from You.

You are my biggest fan, having faith in me when I have none in myself. Where would I be without this persevering love of Yours. That doesn’t give up when it’s not returned, not even when I reek of sin, nor when I’m miles away from who/where I should be.

I can never escape from it, i can trust it because it’ll always be there- gently encouraging me to be all i can be and more. Oh much more.

It’s too amazing for words, this love of Yours.

Yours forever

My Lord, My Valentine : Your Love keeps no record of my wrongs

Lord, I’ve been bad. Remember all the things I’ve done, the things I’ve thought of doing? How can you love me after all that?

You smile, and pull me even closer into Your warm embrace, the harder I struggle to get away from You. You whisper o so gently “Old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new”

What manner of Love is this? That constantly starts on a clean slate, not remembering neither holding me to past sins and mistakes? You love me freely and trust me completely not letting my dirty past cloud a bright future.

It’s amazing how You truly do forget.

Yours lovingly

She's Worth it

“She’s worth it”..... those were the words my boss used to describe the ridiculous amount of money he just spent on an engagement ring (and that was after the 25% discount he got). I can tell you that I blushed on ‘her’ behalf- those are the words any girl would want to be described as by her significant other.

                                                

The conversation i had with him reminded me that even though we can be ‘worth it’ to someone today and ‘worthless’ to that same person tomorrow, our worth in God’s eyes NEVER changes. You and I are worth the life of His ONLY Son- we are worth the beating, the pain and suffering He endured.

The amazing thing is that we were worth all that even when we were at our worst- deep in our sin.

 If we are ‘worth it’ to God at all times, then we are worth it period!

Regardless of how that boss, that friend, that boyfriend, that husband....whoever it is makes you feel you are worth, remember that God says you ARE  ‘worth it’. If He says it then it MUST be true, because He gave the life of His Son for you.

                                  

Congratulations to my boss and his brand new wife to be.
