Yes, I am single, and so Valentine’s day, or as I call it, Single
Awareness Day, was another day of life.
I spent the day working, but also I made sure that I spent the day telling
the people in my life that I loved them.
I didn’t want to miss a moment to say those three powerful words.
It wasn’t the type of day that I ever imagined at my age. I thought that by now, I would be married and
have a family. However, I am celebrating
where God has me, and I do have people in my life that I love, and love me too. I am not without love, and that is something
to celebrate, every day.
I love you, are powerful words.
They are words that bring a lot of emotions. Do I wish that I had heard
an “I love you” from a husband, or significant? Yes I did, I do. However, there is something about Valentines
this year that was different than other years.
I did not look at it as missing out on something. I looked at it a little differently now. It was a reminder that, if I stop to think
about all the people in my life, I have so much love. Also, I have a life that is full of
love. Not only do I have people in my
life that love me, and that I love, but Jesus loves me too.
“Jesus loves me” is not just the words to a child’s song. It is the truth, and He has given us a book of
love letters, the Bible. Everyone gets a love letter. It doesn’t differentiate
between single, married, divorced, widowed, engaged, separated, or whatever
else. It is for all of us.
Jesus loves me, this I know. It is a love that never gives up, and it
doesn’t show up just one day a year. His love is forever, and is always
constant. Isn’t that so amazing? Amazing love.
This month we have been praying for the people in our lives that we
love. All of us have people in our lives
that we love. It doesn’t necessarily
have to be a spouse, or significant other.
It can be friends that are family, and family that are friends, or
anyone that God has brought into your life.
There are so many variances of love.
There is the love between a parent and child, love between spouses and
significant others, love of family, and friends. All of it is love, and all need to be prayed
for. I am thankful for the loved ones in my life.
Every morning, I pray for my loved ones.
I also thank the Lord for His unending love. I love Him, and I tell Him that too. You know, I think that Jesus likes to hear us
say that we love Him.
This journey through life is sometimes crazy, and sometimes we may feel
alone, but we are not. He is always
there, and He loves us. He loves us so
much that Jesus came down to earth and lived and died so that we may live
eternally with Him. That is true Agape Love.
God is love.
Because God is love, I can love those people in my life. Because God is love, I am worthy of
love. Because of God is love, I am
complete and whole. Because God is love, you are too.
I am so blessed to have family and friends around me that I love so
much. Yes, I am single, but I have so
much love around me. I am loved by
God, and that is amazing.
Dear
Lord, I thank you for loving me. You
love me, and You will never leave me.
Thank you for the people in my life that I love and that love me. I love
you Lord. In Jesus’ Name Amen.
