Valentine's Day

Long time no see!
So we just had Valentine's day. .
I don't particularly have an immense liking for this day of the year. . I know a lot of people don't like it, but for me I don't dislike it because it's "single awareness". It's because so many singles are OVERLY aware. It turns into the day of 'Why don't I have a Valentine?' and 'I hate being alone.' That's what gets me about this day. You're not alone. God is always there. You don't need a signifigant other to  be complete. Not on Valentine's day or any other day. Lots of time single-ness is seen as something like a punishment. . Single-ness is a gift! There's so much more you can do when you're single. You can go on foreign missions and not have a signifigant other back home to worry about. You can focus on God more and not have so much of the other person occupying your mind and distracting you. Why should your life be consumed with looking for 'the one' when God is The One and Only One. Everything else will fade away when you pass. He's going to be there, always. God didn't give you life to devote it to searching for your true love in this life. He gave you this life so he could show how much He loves you. He wants your whole heart. He can't have your whole heart if you are clinging to things that are or things that could have been or have been. Don't give your heart to anyone but Him. He'll take care of it better than anyone.And when you do meet the person He has planned for you to spend the rest of your life with you become one heart yearning to live for and please Him together.
Valentine's day and every other day should be focused on Him. God sending His son to die on  the cross was Him coming to us and asking us to be His ETERNALLY. That is His gift to us. The gift to choose to be His because a gift that's demanded is no gift at all. It's a gift of love.
You know what this means? Every Valentine's day is a HAPPY Valentine's day.
