Your Divine Valentine

Your Divine Valentine

Today is Valentine's Day and for some that is just another reminder that you are alone. Perhaps you have been alone every Valentine's Day or your Valentine is no longer a part of your life either through death or divorce or for some other painful reason. Perhaps this Valentine's Day you are looking forward to being with your new or not-so-new Valentine. Regardless of what situation you are in today-YOU HAVE A VALENTINE - A DIVINE VALENTINE.

Before you scoff at the thought, let me assure you, if you are a follower of Jesus Christ, He is your Heavenly Husband and if you allow Him He will be the best Valentine. Embracing your Divine Valentine in no way negates or minimizes your past or present valentine.
Jesus is alive and active in the life of His bride. He delights in giving good gifts.
You may be thinking, 'that's all well and good, but I need someone with skin on'. Beware! As long as you believe that, you will never allow Jesus to be enough.
Jesus desires to fulfill the deepest longings of your heart, no matter where you find yourself today. He completely satisfies (You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing. The LORD is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works.. Psalm 145:16-17)
He delights in you (As for the saints who are on the earth, "They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight." Psalm 16:3). He is Mr. Right(eous)(" For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright." Psalm 11:7). You are His bride ("I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and justice, In lovingkindness and mercy; I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness, And you shall know the LORD." Hosea 2:19-20) and He desires fellowship with you ("God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord."1 Corinthians 1:9). He so desires relationship with you that He went to the cross to die to gain your release from sin and death and to gain your freedom ("But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life." Romans 6:22; "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed" John 8:36).
Oh, sister, go to Him today and tarry with Him until you experience His fullness, His love, His delight in you.
Treasure your Divine Valentine.
