Happy V-Day! A revelation from God
Well, while I have no special one in my life nor any plans to "celebrate", I have to say that my future loved one is definately on her way.
There is a female friend of mine that is a good sweet single Christian woman. And while there is no romance involved between us, I have had an urge to just be a blessing to her; to help her out in any way possible, to sacrifice of myself where possible.
And today I realized: God is having me do this b/c I am in training and practicing to be the husband that He destined me to be. (Eph. 5:25: Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church). I have gone ABCD (Above and Beyond the Call of Duty) for her but I know it's not b/c she is using me. If that was true, my spirit would be drained instead of flowing with joy. Whether or not she will be my future mate isn't the point in all this. The point is that I am expressing what God intended for humans to give to their fellow man and future mate(s): true agape love.
So today isn't supposed to be about flowers and candy (though there's nothing wrong with that)--it's supposed to be about sacrifice and being a blessing to the one(s) that you love. BTW, I am wearing red and white today, but that is only a coincidence with today being V-Day, I kid you not.
Anyway, have a happy Valentine's Day to all of you, wherever you are.
