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

Wanda says
14 February, 2012 at 5:59 pmYes, if it was with conditions, none of us would be eligible.

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!
