As the world grieves the passing of the iconic Whitney Houston, her song I Will Always Love You rings in my ears. While she may have sang those words the best, she certainly was not the first to declare an everlasting love. In Jeremiah 31:3, God declares,
I have loved you with an everlasting love
So rather your day is filled with chocolates, roses, and hearts or not know that you are loved by the Almighty. He loves you past your imperfections, weaknesses, and even when you willfully do the wrong thing. Our actions do not always please Him but He loves us nevertheless.
Happy Valentineās Day
Pam says
So true, Wanda! Thankfully, God’s love is totally unconditional.
Wanda says
Yes, if it was with conditions, none of us would be eligible.
Cynthia says
Wanda,
You are right! Once again, a wonderful post! Oh, to be loved by the Almighty is worth more than any chocolates, flowers or worldly riches. Thank you, for “being.” Blessings to you and Happy Valentine’s Day!
Wanda says
Thanks Cynthia. While it is nice to receive those tokens of love, God’s love is incomparable.
Lisa says
There is no greater gift we could receive on this special day or any day, than the Love the Father has given us. How great is His Love for us!
Wanda says
Yes, I am relishing in that gift today.
Alida says
so true! I will miss Whitney’s voice but I am so grateful for His everlasting love in my life.
Wanda says
I was shocked to learn of her passing but I am grateful for God that out lasts ALL things.
Tracy says

Wanda says
Thanks Tracy. It does us well not to lose sight of that His love never changes despite changing circumstances around us.
Denise says

Her story is so tragic, I remember the first time I saw her music video. I was in the hospital. Beautiful reminder how precious life; our journey is not alone
