Ah, Love! While we may not have “Eros” (AIR-ohs, Greek for romantic love) in our lives just now, we still celebrate; because without exception, we are the recipients of “Agape” (Uh-GAH-pay), the highest kind of love: God’s love – perfect and unconditional. So take a moment with the truth: You are loved, abundantly and forever, by the Creator of the universe.
God Loves You
Though our feelings come and go, God’s love for us does not.
C.S. Lewis
The Lord your God is with you;
the mighty One will save you.
He will rejoice over you.
You will rest in his love;
he will sing and be joyful about you.”
Zephaniah 3:17 New Century Version (NCV)
God’s love is so extravagant and so inexplicable
that He loved us before we were us. Judah Smith
*
God loves you even when you don’t love yourself.
(unknown)
*
He sees and calls out the good in us that we can’t even see ourselves.
(unknown)
Indeed, I have loved you with an everlasting love;
therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
Jeremiah 31:3 Modern English Version (MEV)
God said, “You don’t have to worry.
As long as I exist you will be loved.” (unknown)
I have created you and cared for you since you were born.
I will be your God through all your lifetime,
yes, even when your hair is white with age.
I made you and I will care for you.
I will carry you along and be your Savior.
Isaiah 46:3b-4 Living Bible (TLB)
“Riches take wings, comforts vanish, hope withers away,
but love stays with us. Love is God.”
Lew Wallace, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ
So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe
with the power to separate us from God’s love.
I’m convinced that his love will triumph over death,
life’s troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens.
There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One!
Romans 8:38b-39 The Passion Translation (TPT)
You are loved – personally.
You are loved – constantly.
You are loved – completely!
And you deserve more than just this one Valentine.
