Valentine’s Day Hearing God Say, "i Love You"

Wednesday February 14, 2018

Three of the most comforting, encouraging, and life-giving words in the English language are, "I love you".  Spoken from a sincere heart, these three little words carry a tenderness and strength that will fill a lonely heart and bring a smile to a sad face.  These are words that come from the hearts of loving parents when they see their new baby.  They are whispered in the ear of someone frail as they lie on a hospital bed.  They are words spoken with chocolates to a special someone, or perhaps with a "knowing gaze" shared across a room between partners in a caring marriage.  They are words that every human longs to hear over and over again. 

As we go forward in recovery, God wants us to hear Him tenderly tell us “I love you.” These words bring healing and peace to our body, mind and spirit as we absorb the truth of what is being said.  We will find, as we read God’s word in the Bible, that it repeatedly tells us of God’s unfailing and unconditional love for us.  As we pray with a quiet heart and listen, we will hear God’s voice echoing in our ears “I love you”.

I pray that your love will have deep roots. I pray that it will have a strong foundation.  May you have power together with all the Lord’s holy people to understand Christ’s love. May you know how wide and long and high and deep it is.  And may you know his love, even though it can’t be known completely. Then you will be filled with everything God has for you.  (Ephesians 3:17-19 NIRV)
We cannot begin to find words to describe the all-encompassing, tender love that God continues to pour out on us.  This Valentine’s Day let’s remind ourselves that love is available to us.  God is with us.  Let’s live in God’s love today, and every day. 




PRAYER:  Heavenly Father, thank you for your generous love for me that is wide enough to embrace me wherever I go.  Come and heal me in the place of my deepest wounding and disappointment. Accompany me in my brightest moments. Fill me with courage and comfort when I feel challenged.  This I know for sure, You truly do love me!  Amen
