It’s something about Valentine’s Day that can either leave you feeling all giggly and goggle-eyed or washed up in a wave of disappointment and why not me Lords.
But even if we are not soaring high we certainly don’t have to ride the waves of sadness. Today is a perfect day to remember what you know for sure.
And one thing is for sure my dear, YOU ARE LOVED!
Loved whether you feel it or not.
We tend to get all caught up in our feelings but let’s be honest those “feelings” can be quite fickle. And they can do a pretty good job of convoluting our reality.
And how do we know?
Because God’s Word tells us so.
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. 1 John 3:16a
And it’s a love that lasts, Jeremiah 31: 3 declares
I have loved you with an everlasting love
May you remember today and every day that you are loved by the Almighty.
Elizabeth West says
Thanks Wanda *hug* I needed that. It’s not a good day for me.
Wanda says
Ahhh I know how this day can be as single girl Elizabeth. Hugs & love to you.
Rhapsody says
Blessings and Happy Valentines.
You are loved
Its not only a celebration of coupledom its a celebration of love expressed for one self, so if you have no significant other, take the time to affirm and pamper oneself and acknowledge in the many ways you are loved, by God and family.
peace.
Wanda says
Indeed so many ways love surrounds in our daily lives yet I do know how one can allow themselves to get pulled into the sulks on that one day. Thankfully my heartstrings weren’t pulled in that direction, lol.
Rhaposdy says
dropping in to wish you a fabulous weekend filled with peace and contentment.

Thanks Rhapsody. Hope your weekend is a great one.
Pam says

Barbie says
AMEN my friend. We are speaking the same language today.
Wanda says
Yes, indeed we are. It’s a message we can never hear enough.
Kim@stuffcould.... says
I believe this holiday should be about all love….not making it a couple love only. Advertisers may have done that?? You wrote about the one true Love!!
Kim@stuffcould.... says
You wrote about the one true Love! This couple thing seems to be because of Advertisers. It should be about all Love!
Wanda says
You are right Kim, the marketers have done a great job of selling us on only one type of love.
Ceil says
Hi Wanda! Happy Belated Valentine’s Day! It is so true that we are loved always and every day by our Father, his Son and Spirit. A true and lasting love.
My daughter and her family were here this weekend, so I did feel very loved by them indeed. It was such a treat to see the grandchildren 🙂
Blessings,
Ceil

Sharon says
Is there anything better than knowing that we are loved by our God?! (Answer is NO!)
His love is steadfast and unchanging. And He loves us whether we are lovable or not!
His sweet heart is the best gift ever.
GOD BLESS!
Wanda says
Nothing compares indeed Sharon. We can never be lovable enough but loves us anyway. That is the most amazing love story.
LaVonne says
Thank you, Wanda. Sometimes just knowing that we are loved is all the encouragement we need to make it one more day. Sending my love to you!
Wanda says
I do appreciate it LaVonne. Have a wonderful weekend.
Connie Arnold says
