Most people consider this Valentines' Day, but as my title suggest, for some of us it's something totally different. Random fact I heard this morning... St Valentine is also the patron saint of the plague and of bees (or was it bee keepers?)... need I say more??
OK, enough negativity!! The Lord spoke the sweetest thing to my heart Sunday morning. I thought about just keeping it myself as a private treasure, but I think there maybe someone out there that might just need to hear this too.
Driving to church, I somehow got on the thought pattern of 'why am I single' and 'what's wrong with me'. This isn't something new, and it's not something God and I haven't dealt with a thousand times. I normally 'hear' that its just not the right time, I'm not or he's not ready, just be patient... gentle answers that I don't disagree with. I just wonder sometimes if God wants to just tell me to shut it and move on, but He's not unkind. But this go-around I heard something new...
"You are one of my favorites, you are precious to Me and beautiful. I'm just not ready to share your affections yet"
Tears and tears and tears :)
So, on a day I would normally want to wear all black and eat a container of ice cream, this year I think I'll spend time praising and worshiping Him instead!
