So You Want a Valentine?

Set my Siri to male because we all need some testosterone haha!

Yes I asked Siri, because why not?
I mean I'm desperate and I think you are too... I know you understand.

Being single on Valentine's day in this present day and age is not easy at all. In fact for you to maintain your sanity on this day, you have to stay off all social media platforms and turn off your phone to prevent friends from sending you screenshots of overly mushy messages from their baes and pictures of whatever gifts they received. Also, to avoid any type of hatred, sadness, animosity, envy, etc. I advice you stay indoors and if possible, wear ear plugs so you don't hear any love songs that can drive you into depression or exaggerate your loneliness.

Okay I might be dragging it.. But come on, it's really not for the faint hearted to remain strong on V-day. We break, we all do.

But what if I told you love isn't meant for just a day. What if I told you that if you are feeling lonely, unloved, depressed, etc. on this day that it is a reflection of your relationship with God. That if February 14th brings you anxiety then there might be a problem. Have you been desperate? Have you become nicer to the guys around you? Or resorted to self pity because all your friends are taken? Are you trying to rekindle past relationships?
  
"But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love." 1 John 4:7

Focus on that second part, God is love. That's who He is. Therefore God ceases to be God the second He stops loving because it is out of his character; being love.

As children of God, we get to partake in His feast of love. We get to sit on His table and get a constant/unquenchable supply of His love served to us in heavenly plates. But guess what? Some of us have decided to opt out, sit on the floor and feed on crumbs that have fallen from the table of love. We have neglected God's invitation to occupy a seat and obtain a 5 course meal just to settle for crumbs. Crusty crumbs that don't embody God's love then we wonder why we are not satisfied. Wonder why we need a man to validate our worth. Wonder why if there is no man on my phone then I ain't nobody. Wonder why I feel the need to flaunt my assets to feel popping. Wonder why I feel lonely when I am alone.

You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you. Songs of Solomon 4:7

Promise me, O women of Jerusalem, not to awaken love until the time is right. Songs of Solomon 8:4

Woman of God your source comes from God. Woman of God no man can satisfy you. Woman of God your worth is found in Christ. Woman of God stop feeding on crumbs! Get up, dust up and feast on His table of love. This love breaks every chain. This love casts out every fear. This love quenches every thirst and fills you up. This love is an everyday kind of love. Woman of God would you seek GOD with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all your strength? Would you allow Him to trade your weakness for strength? Would you become vulnerable to Him? Let him satisfy you like none other.

When you're basking in God's love, when the thought of Jesus keeps giving you butterflies, you wouldn't dare harbor thoughts of loneliness or depression. V-day is another beautiful day the lord has created, rejoice and be glad in it! 

For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. Romans 5:5 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
