I have fallen in love with God all over again. I guess you can say I fell out of love with God primarily because I sought what He could do for me and how He could make me happy. It was a take-all-I-can relationship on my part but God kept giving. He keeps blessing us when we don't really deserve it. There were times when I thought I really knew who God was and would not really take the time to build a relationship with Him, but instead tried to make myself a better person so others could see how great I was.
Psalm 103 has just spoken so strongly to me this day and I am so glad to have been introduced to it. I went to a gathering where one of my friends spoke about Grace and how amazing it is. Apart from that, she mentioned God's love. It's not just any kind of love, but the love that abounds forever (Psalm 103:8).
Okay, I can't describe to you what this love feels like, but it's the sweetest kind of love where I felt surrounded by it and in awe of it. It was like a bubble that made me see the world in a different light and I felt I was walking on clouds. Really though. There was no hint of pain in this love.
I thought I knew what love was, but that kind of love that I thought I knew came with waves of fear and pain. That's not the love God gives. His love is unbelievably pure and without malice.
Basically I just want to share that this new love that I've accepted from Him is available to you. It is the only comfort for loneliness and it is the only cure for sinners. I have decided to set myself aside and accept this sincere (Romans 12:9) love that my God has been offering to me since I was born.
Much love, peace and Valentine's grease,

P.S. V-Day is not just for significant others; it's for anyone you love. Share that love!! <3
