Happy Valentines Day

It's that time of year when great declarations of love are made. It doesn't matter if you forgot birthdays, anniversary's, or even Christmas. If you go big on this day, you get forgiven for past relationship missteps.

I was in the store yesterday, looking at people struggling to pick out the right flowers, cards, and candies. They painstakingly looked at the petals to make sure that none of them were wilted. Cards with "thee" and "thy" are acceptable this time of year... "I love thee and thy deep blue eyes..."

It made me think about relationship with God. The Bible says that God is the bridegroom and we are His bride. Do we treat the relationship the same way? Does God get 2 days a year where we show Him our love? Are Christmas and Easter our Valentines day to God?

Healthy relationships are consistent.

I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, or kingdoms, today, tomorrow, the future, mountains, oceans or any creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is based in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39)

How far are you willing to go to show God you love Him too?
