As the calendar turns to the month of February, our thoughts turn toward Valentine's day. We begin to think about how we can express our love for that special person in our lives. Gifts such as flowers, candy, a special dinner, or a ring are often given to the one who holds a special place in our lives.

​

But what kind of gift do we give to God? Jesus loves each one of us as if there were only one of us to love. When the difficulties in your life feel as if they're closing in on you, remember to tap into God's love by spending quality time with your creator. Bring your prayers and petitions to God and your problems will pale when seen in the glory of God's presence. 

​

We have a continual choice to make each day of our lives. We can seek God's love and presence to help us with short prayers concerning the present issue or we can face despair by relying on ourselves or human help.

​

This Valentine's day spend quality time with the One who loves you unconditionally and who can make your joy full and complete. Keep your eyes and heart on Jesus, who never stops loving you.

Grace and peace,
