Happy Valentines Day, my friends. For some of you, today comes easy, as you look forward to spent time with the one who makes your heart sing. I celebrate with you. You are blessed. I wish you a wonderful day.
For others, today is a painful reminder of a hurting heart, longing to be understood by someone, longing to know someone who loves you more than life itself and isn’t afraid to show it. I hurt with you today.
Love is…. complicated. Or maybe it’s that we complicate love.
A week or so ago, I read a passage in Philippians 1:9 and the phrase in bold has been haunting me ever since. Praying today to learn to love appropriately, as God would have me love.
9 So this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not only love much but well. Learn to love appropriately. You need to use your head and test your feelings 10 so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush.
I am reminded often that Gods ways are not ours, especially as I watch life unfold. In the Old Testament is a story that exemplifies this, and Judah Smith delivers it so effectively. It’s a little long, but worth the time.
May you all feel Gods love today, regardless of your circumstances.
Love you all, my friends.

Such a heartfelt post. This day is definitely overrated. Why to just celebrate it with lovers. Count in family and friends and you get to be the blessed one. 🙂
