It's February 15 here now in the Philippines but in some countries, it's still February 14, so i guess this blog is not yet too late for Valentine's Day.

Yesterday, i had some bonding moment with my mother and my other sister and after that, i organized my things in the cabinet (the latter is a little bit weird activity during valentine's day...i know, but i wanted my day to be productive). 


As i organized my things, I came across this printed article in a bond paper (which i gave some copies to my colleagues on valentine's day a few years ago). Let me share here the article.

THE GREATEST VALENTINE

written by Holley Gerth

a Valentine may play a love song for you

but God sings you the sweetest love song in the universe.

The Lord your God will rejoice over you with gladness,

He will keep you quiet with his love, 

He will rejoice over you with singing.

(Zephaniah 3:17)

a Valentine may  give you flowers,

but God sent you the most beautiful rose of all, JESUS.

 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of valleys.

(Song of Solomon 2:1)

a Valentine may take you out to dinner,

but God has invited you to the most amazing feast ever given.

Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb.

(Revelation 19:9)

a Valentine may bring you chocolate,

but God provides you with something even sweeter, His WORD.

How sweet are your words to my taste,

sweeter than honey to my mouth.

(Psalm 119:103)

a Valentine may be far away

but God is always with you.

I am with you always.

(Matthew 28:20)

a Valentine may give you something,

but God has given everything.

God gives us richly all things to enjoy.

(I Timothy 6:17)

a Valentine may love you for a lifetime,

but God loved you before you were born and will love you for all eternity.

The Lord appeared to us in the past saying, 
"I have loved you with an everlasting love:

I have drawn you with loving-kindness."

(Jeremiah 31:3)

It's So Wonderful To Know That God Is The Greatest Lover Of Our Soul!
Enjoy your Valentine's Day...with or without a date!
