On this day....this valentine's day, when love is declared through flowers, cards, balloons and stuffed animals, don't forget the ultimate valentine. The cross of Christ.
A place where love.....real love....love beyond human understanding....was demonstrated to us (as scripture reads) while we were yet sinners. Flowers fade...balloons go flat....candy is eaten....and yes,even the cross has rotted and vanished from this earth. But the love that drove a man to stretch out upon this cross is alive and well here in 2021.
His act of giving himself opened the way for us to receive salvation and a restored relationship with God Himself. I don't have to tell you that "GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD".....that He forged this plan so we could join with Him as His creation.
On this day where couples declare their love for each other, may we never forget that Christ is the ultimate valentine.
"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
May you find and embrace this divine valentine today...
God on you...
