The Bible...God's Valentine to Us

Tuesday, February 14, 2023   

Do you enjoy reading a good love story?

Often pastors refer to the bible as God's love letter to you. The Living and Trustworthy God has been involved in the details of your life from the very beginning, just as he is now. 

I can testify this has been true for me. Working at the Christian radio station around people who had a personal relationship with God and hearing the bible through the monitors and lyrics of songs I played during music segments forty hours a week had a profound impact on me in my 20's! 

In high school I planned to never marry, or have children and never live in Ohio. God changed my thinking completely!  By the time I turned twenty-five I found myself daily praying for a marriage partner and children. God allowed me to pray about this for six years until the day came when I met the man who would become my husband. This quiet christian gentleman was worth the wait!  His wife had died and left him to raise two little boys. The day I married him I became a wife and mother. What a wonderful adventure and answer to prayer! Later two little girls were added to our family and our joy was complete.                 

In Psalm 26:3 NIV it says, "For I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance of Your faithfulness." I have always remembered God's unfailing love during the six years I daily prayed for His choice of a husband. It was worth waiting on God!  God is interested in each one of us and shows His unfailing love. 

We must train ourselves to see it. As you study your bible, discover how often unfailing love is used to speak about God's faithfulness. In my bible, I draw a heart beside each time unfailing love is mentioned. It is a wonderful, affirming bible study that brings a greater understanding of God's love for us.

Thanks for stopping by to chat and have a cup of coffee with me. I am glad to be able to wish you a Happy Valentine's day!
