Today - as I scrolled FB this am, I saw many hearts -- hurting.
Today can make grown women weep -- for the entire day.
Today can bring such sadness and loss.....
Today can be the day in which....YOU allow HIM to fill that hole.... fill that space... fill YOU!
I pray right now for the ones hurting -- that have lost a husband....lost a boyfriend...lost a son... or a daughter.....
Lord, I pray for the ones right now that don't believe they will be around for the next Valentines Day as they are facing a big crisis... or physical hurt or disease that has changed them....
Lord, I pray for the wives who have loved.... are waiting... and being faithful in spite of a husband who does not cherish nor love you ...
Lord, I pray for the wives who are remaining steadfast - seeking YOU for their affirmation as their husbands are knee deep in their pity, their selfishness, or their pride ...
Lord, and I pray for those that ARE having the BEST day of their lives ....or believe they have the BEST Valentine because they got breakfast in bed.... found a card on the dresser....or had roses or something delivered for all to see yesterday -- or Friday --
Lord, that each and everyone of these women -- these ladies...these girls.... remember what YOU died for them...that YOU paid the ultimate price and that YOU are indeed the BEST Valentine.
Lord, help us see YOUR perspective --
Lord, help us see where WE can be a Valentine to another --
Lord, help us love the lost...
Lord open our eyes -- are we so bothered by this "holiday"?
Lord, open our eyes -- are we so engrossed in everyone' s happiness?
Lord, open our eyes -- are we enjoying the HIGH of YOU....or are we in wonder of the God of the MOST HIGH?
Lord, thank you for today -- thank you for the beautiful weather, the answered prayers and the knowledge that EVEN if I did not get a card.... or EVEN if there was NO breakfast in bed.....YOU were here. YOU are here... AS I read in Your Word today -- You are indeed a God of miracles and a God of love. Lord, thank you for my earthly Valentine -- he is indeed perfect in You and he did make this morning special!! As I have experienced MANY superficial Valentine Celebrations in my 40+ years and I have had some heartfelt cards given and flowers delivered -- but nothing beats the sight of a husband deep in prayer over his bible and seeking YOU. Lord, I thank YOU that I am filled enough with you today -- that I know that I do not NEED a card or flowers... and I thank YOU that I am filled with YOU and Holy Spirit resides in me... However Lord, my daily prayer is: empty me of me...and continue to fill me with MORE of YOU. You are indeed the best Valentine.
I am unsure Lord if this wisdom comes from age... experience...or just time ...but as I pray for my own children today -- Lord, I pray their Valentine is YOU... Lord, I pray that the circle around me and the ones that influence me and the ones I influence...see YOU... period.
Lord, I thank you for the healing with the one dear one....who is claiming YOUR glory, and I thank you for the answered prayers within all of the written prayer requests /words on my heart.... YOU are indeed a mighty Lord and Father, a good good Father -- that is WHO you are.
And I am loved by YOU -- that is WHO YOU are... Perfect in every way -- thank you for parting the river for me and holding all my fears with your perfect love. YOU are indeed my Valentine today -- In YOUR special and LOVING name...Amen.
