Has anyone told you today “I love you”? It’s a good day to experience and to share some love. I am blessed because every morning when Dave gets up the first thing he does is give me a kiss and tell me “I love you”.
I have to wonder – how many people go through an entire day and never hear those words? Young, old; married, single; rich, poor; college grad or drop out; CEO or janitor; employed or homeless; we all need to know we are loved.
I think that many go through life never knowing they are loved. If only we were better at sharing our love with them, then they could see, through us, the love that the Father has for them. His love is unconditional; He loves us on our best days and on our worst.
“We are still alive because the Lord’s faithful love never ends. 23 Every morning he shows it in new ways! You are so very true and loyal! 24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my God, and I trust him.” Lamentations 3:22-25 ERV
The Lord’s faithful love NEVER ends.
Let that sink in – His love never ends. Each day He has new ways of showing us His love. It doesn’t falter because we do. He loves even the most despicable of people; God so loved the world – that’s everyone.
In November, I took time to write down one or two things each day that I was grateful for. In December, I was writing down things that I felt were gifts from God. During January, I’ve been recording things that happened each day to give me encouragement. And now as February approaches I will be listing the things I experience (large and small) each day that the Father uses to express His love.
Please join me in making a love list. I’m going to spend the next couple of weeks going through God’s word and delivering to you each day a Valentine from the Father.
If no one has ever told you that you are loved let me be the first. Your heavenly Father loves you beyond measure and I do too.
