LOVE. It is an action. We here these words alot, especially as Women. We hear them alot because we say it to our friends and we say to the Men in our lives when we want to remind them of what is really important in showing us how much they care for us. Today is February 14,2009 the day the World has chosen to celebrate love. For some women who are single they get sad or depressed around this time of year because they say they have no one to show them Love by sending flowers, roses or a card. Even some married women just wish the day would hurry up and be over.
Instead of being sad, depressed or feedup with this day of LOVE recognition according to the World, take some time to evaluate yourself and what Love truly is. If Love IS an ACTION, then who in your life has shown the ULTIMATE LOVE for you ? Who has gone out before hundreds of people without any shame and shouted to the WORLD "I LOVE THIS WOMAN ! I LOVE HER SO MUCH I DO NOT CARE IF YOU LAUGH AT ME OR IF YOU ARE ASHAMED OF ME. I LOVE HER AND I WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW !"
Who loves you so much he laid down his life for you. He prayed for you, cried for you and suffered, died and was buried JUST TO COME BACK FOR YOU ?? Who chose to show you by his actions just how much he cared ? Single or Married there is ONE man who will always be by your side and love you unconditionally. He has seen you looking your worse and doing your worse YET he still loves you. You can not seem to get rid of him if you wanted to because once you have opened up your heart to him he pours his conviction into you. He pours his love into you and no matter how you try you can not go forth fully happy with anyone else or anything else until you are back in line in your relationship with him.
If you read his Love Letters to you, THE HOLY BIBLE, you want to cry you are so touched by his words. As we say in the world ' He put something on MY Mind.' He can truly make you feel special if you let him. You know what even though he has many....you do not mind....you know that in spite of that you are SPECIAL to him. He listens to you and allows you to express yourself, If you need anything he can get it for you at the right time. He can lavish you with the best things in Life and has an even greater present for you waiting in ETERNITY. His Love FOR YOU just gets better with time.
He takes care of you. He can dress you from head to toe and make you look so well kept people want to know who is in your life now and tell you how much better you look since he came into your life. He takes such good care of you when you leave from your private time with him you have a 'glow' that can not be ignored. People can tell you got A MAN honey !! He must be treated you right every time they see you, you are smiling and laughing and walking with a confidence they can not figure out. Even if you got storms brewing in your life you have not missed a beat, your MAN got your back and you can just keep going forward.
Who is this MAN that seems to be such a dream come true ? Who is this MAN that has already given is ALL for you. Who is this man that showed the WORLD how much he loves you by shedding the very essence of life, his blood, in a public display of his love and committment to you ? IT IS JESUS OF COURSE !! NOBODY can beat his lovin baby !!! So if LOVE is an ACTION JESUS HAS SHOWED OUT !! He has gone above and beyond and no one can top him ! He can place within you such a love for yourself that you will treat yourself to something nice on this day just to celebrate being GOD'S WOMAN. You have a spirit within you of knowing that no one can treat you better than he can.
If he woke you up this morning he already gave you the ultimate gift on this day. No matter how many other flowers, cards, chocolates or kisses you receive or wish for, if HE did not allow breath in your body this day, NONE of that would matter. If you could not open your eyes on this day, none of that could open them for you. JESUS loves you so much he died for you. He loved you so deeply he died for the salvation of your soul. How many men do you meet in this world that care about your soul ? When a man meets you he is not concerned about what is in your heart, what is in your mind, what is in your soul. He looks first at the physical attributes and pretty much makes his mind up right then by the way you look.
But JESUS. He says come to me the way you are. I can fix you , mend you and make you brand new because I LOVE YOU. Do not doubt him, he has shown you with his actions and they speak even louder than his WORDS. If he had not come to see about YOU where would you be today ? He loved you in this world and he is going to LOVE you in the next !! He 'laid it down' like no other man I know ! He has opened his arms to you and when ever you want him or need him all you have to do is call and he will be there. It will come a time in your life as he loves on you and you accept that love that the very mention of his name will fill up your heart and soul. It will make you shout his name out LOUD ! Because you need to show some action too and show him you love him without being ashamed.
See LOVE, it still is a two way street ! Sooooooo ENJOY loving JESUS and ENJOY JESUS loving you. He shows you all year, each day, each month, each second, each minute that he allows you to breath upon this earth . VALENTINE'S DAY does not stop that love ! So, if there is no male physically in your life to spend time with on this day, do not be depressed or sad, if he is not here on this day by his own choice or because of poor choices, then he has not been there the days and months before, BUT JESUS HAS and that is the love you need to focus on. When you have your business here in order and are prepared for a man to come and head your household, he will send him down your path. Stay in order with him and just love on him for awhile because if you know how to LOVE AND HONOR Jesus, you will know how to love and honor the man he sends to find you.
I am going to end this with a tag line from the email of one of my dance ministry sisters that recently got married. I want you ladies to Soak in it, Eat it, Swallow it and digest it from this point forward in your lives !!
A woman's heart should be so close to God, that a man must seek HIM to find her.
