A dozen, long-stemmed red roses; heart-shaped chocolates;
sweet “I love you” gestures like breaking out of jail to see your valentine: a normal Valentine’s Day, right?
Ha!
For most of us, Valentine’s Day consists of a night curled
up on the couch watching the latest Nicholas Sparks movie while enjoying the
box of chocolates we bought for ourselves earlier that day.
But why?
Because we are wallowing in our non-existent love life?
Because we’re
afraid of heartbreak
again?
Because we think
we’re not beautiful enough for someone to love us?
But the reality is we have the best love story of all time! Jesus loves us
and He is our perfect valentine! He
thinks you
are beautiful, no matter what society says.
He loves each of us so much that he took on all our sins and, despite His
absolute perfection, died so that we could have eternal life with Him in
Heaven-the perfect gift.
1 John 4:19 says, “We love because He first loved us.” God’s
love is the source of all human love. Once we understand His love, we will
understand that Jesus Christ is our perfect valentine. And there’s beauty in that.
