You Are My Valentine
From: Your Heavenly Father
Date: Every Day
I AM SO GLAD I CREATED YOU!
Every day with Jesus is Valentine’s Day. Yes, God loves and highly values every life He created! There are no limits to His love for you because He created you to be the object of His lovingkindness. He created you with purpose, gifts, and talents that ultimately demonstrate how much He loves you. Satan constantly tries to steal, kill, and destroy you, but God sent Jesus Christ to ensure that you can live eternally with Him.
Do you realize that God’s love for you is so extravagant that He refuses to live without you?
That is why He sent Jesus to die on the cross and pay the penalty for our sins so that He can enjoy being with us for all eternity. God demonstrated his love for us that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). God’s amazing grace is such a phenomenal expression of His profusely magnanimous unfailing love for us.
Do you realize that Jesus paid the penalty for your sins even before you asked for forgiveness?
As He hung dying on the cross about to breathe His last breath He interceded for us and asked, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34a).
Do you realize that when Jesus was hanging on the cross and declared “It is finished”, bowed his head, and died (John 19:30), all our sins - past, present, and future - were transferred from your account to His?
Why would Jesus pay the penalty for our sins before we were born? God’s love for us is beyond human comprehension!
Do you realize that when Jesus sacrificed His blood on Calvary for you, He exonerated you from your sinful state and erased your sin from God’s memory?
In Hebrews 10:17-18 He declared, 17 “I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds. 18 Now, when sins have once been forever forgiven and forgotten, there is no need to offer more sacrifices to get rid of them.” If God refuses to remember our sins, then we have no reason to wallow in sin or point out or accuse others of their sins.
Do you realize there is absolutely nothing that can stop God from loving you?
Apostle Paul explained it best in Romans 8:38-39, 38 “I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
That’s right, no matter what we do and no matter what Satan does to us or even through us, God loves us anyway! His love for us is eternal.
Do you realize God’s victory over Satan is guaranteed?
Jesus declared in John 10:28-29 28 “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.” How awesome it is that the lives of every believer in Jesus are in God’s hands and there is no way He will allow Satan to snatch us out of His hands. Knowing this should make anyone want to shout and dance!
