Happy Valentine’s Day!
Zephaniah 3:17 GWT
The LORD your God is with you. He is a Hero who saves you. Happily rejoices over you, renews you with his love, and celebrates over you with shouts of joy.
My Forever Valentine and my Best Friend
He’s my forever Valentine
And my very best Friend
I have a forever Valentine
He’s with me daily all of the time
He is perfect loving and full of zeal
Oh yes this One for sure He’s the Real Deal
When I was single and felt alone
He came and made me an offer
From out of His special love
I accepted of course, I’m not a scoffer
So kind and humble
And gentle in heart
This doesn’t even begin
To tell the greatest part
Things hadn’t worked out
As planned or thought
No time to despair
I was being sought
The enemy thought
He had won
But he didn’t have a clue
Of what was to come
My Valentine ask me to learn of Him
To seek out His true nature
I simply couldn’t resist
He wasn’t a distant stranger
So I began to study
Seeking only His Face
And through the line of time
I began to trace
I found where He is my Salvation
And my Solid Rock
Perfect Lamb of God
From the Tower of The Flock
He’s my Forever Valentine
And my Very Best Friend
So since Two Thousand
Plus years of five
My Forever Valentine
Touched my heart and made it come alive
Something changed
Early that Valentine morn
When my heart was awakened
With a deeper love adorned
Perfect love
And joy unspeakable
Cannot be explained with words
Pleasures forevermore inconceivable
So it you think you need
A forever Valentine
“I AM” most happy to share with you
The One I call mine
For His heart is amazing
Gigantically enormous
He has room enough for all
Yes for everyone one of us
Guy or gal young and old
No matter the age
May I introduce to you my Forever Valentine
King Jesus center stage
A complete and perfect Love
The River of Life that never runs dry
He is more than enough
Reach out give Him a try
He conquered the grave
Lives forever to make intercession
How about that
For a Valentine True Love confession

1 Corinthians 2:9-10 GNT
But as scriptures says: ” No eye has seen, not ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love Him.
God has revealed those things to us by His Spirit. The Spirit searches everything, especially the deep things of God.
His love is never changing, cannot questioned or understood with our carnal minds. Our love is the fallible, weak and questionable love mentioned in the passage above. Jesus said if you love Me you will keep my commands, so the love He is looking for is love in action. A verb, and a transitive verb at that. You, me, us, His people, we are the direct object Jesus is speaking to for us to do what He is saying. If we keep His commandments, He and The Father will come and make their abode with us.
John 14:23 various translations – anyone who loves Me will obey my teaching, do what I say, keep My words, obey My teachings, will do what I say. And My Father will love them, and We will come and make Our home with them. Whoever does not love Me does not keep my word or teachings.
Even Jesus and The Father, cannot live or make their abode with selfish, self seeking people. No wonder we struggle also. Love is the answer. Love is the key to His Heart.
A couple of years ago while reading something caught my attention. I learned that a clef, the musical clef is also called a key. I had know for years music had keys but had never made the connection. I understood immediately, praise and worship are the keys to our Lord’s heart. We know this but I saw it in action. We are commanded to praise ‘in’ all things not ‘for’ all things. Worship begins with adoration of Him. When we see Him, we see or should see ourselves. The real us, as we really are, the real us. Breaking through the barrier of outward things we see our heart, lay bare and open before Him. Seeing His pure and perfect love, we repent, fall prostrate and say Oh my God and my King.
When Isaiah saw The Lord, he wasn’t like, yo God, hey Lord, glad you could drop by, whas up. I’m concerned that with our cultural Christianity we attempt to make The Lord common, comfortable with sin. Our Lord is not common. He is Holy! He died that we can come away from and be delivered from sinful lifestyles, warning others. Jesus did not hang out with sinners, He changed sinners at their very core. We do not find where Jesus was ever okay or comfortable with sin. Read Luke 4:18-19.
Isaiah said, “Woe is me, for I am undone! I am a man with unclean lips and I dwell among an unclean people.” The seraphim took a live coal from the altar of The Lord and touched his lips.
When I saw and experienced His pure love, I too was undone. If you haven’t had an encounter that has left you undone, go back there is so much more waiting for you. Go back for a life changing encounter with the Lover of your soul.
Good morning and God bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord cause His countenance to rise upon you and give you Shalom.
Until next time, thank you for listening with me. Laurette
