Oh well, it is Valentine's day again. The time to celebrate love. Hmmmm...but what if you are single? Maybe you are single by choice and maybe not but it is disheartening to see all these people celebrating their love for each other. And there you are. Alone. All alone. So sad. Until...
You realize that you are NOT all alone. You are loved with the greatest of all loves! In Jeremiah 31:3 God says "... I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee." If you have ever heard a recording by Elisabeth Elliot, you have heard her say "You are loved with an everlasting love. And underneath are the everlasting arms." There it is again. That word-everlasting. An everlasting love. Everlasting. How awesome is that?!
What comfort, what peace, what hope we draw from this. Relationships end, marriages end, sometimes children desert their parents. But no matter what else happens in our lives, we know that God loves us. Forever. I count on that promise. I find joy in knowing that I am loved with an everlasting love. And so are YOU! He loves you with a perfect love that far exceeds anything we could imagine experiencing on this earth.
So, if you are feeling a little down, a little lonely as this Valentine's day comes around, remind yourself Who you belong to and how much He loves you. And that is better than anything else this world could possibly offer you!
