Your Valentine’s Day card isn’t as good as this one…
Do you send or give Valentine’s Day cards every year? Are you giving one to your true love this year? Did you search and search until you found just the right one? Or did you buy the “blank” kind and spend a lot of time making up your own message? Well, no matter what your method or madness is or was…your card will never hold a candle to this one…
I don’t mean to shoot down your efforts, and I’m sure you’ve created or bought an awesome gift for that love of your life. I hope so anyway. You know they deserve it…even if you haven’t been getting along. After all that person could love someone else, but they chose you. That speaks volumes. And you shouldn’t take it for granted. So, if you haven’t taken the opportunity (or made one) to tell your loved one how much you love them, use this Valentine’s Day to do it. But let me get back to my original point…
…the greatest Valentine’s Day card ever written.
Would you like to read the message? Cool. It doesn’t rhyme, and it didn’t arrive on anybody’s doorstep with flowers and chocolate, but it remains the all-time champion example of true love. Here’s the message: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life“.
You can probably find a decent Valentine’s Day card for 99 cents. And I’ve seen some that cost upwards of $5 and higher. Add a $10 box of chocolates or a dozen roses for $25 and you’re looking at $35 to $40 easy. Wow, this love thing can add up pretty quickly. But again…it pales and disappears in comparison to the cost Jesus paid. No one has ever…or WILL ever show a greater love for someone else than He showed for us. He calls us friends, and He laid down His life for His friends. And for every person who ever lived or ever will live. I’ll never compare to that. You never will. No one ever will. The good news is…He doesn’t expect us to. He knows we can’t do it. That’s why He DID it.
This Valentine’s Day…give your loved ones a hug or a kiss and a heartfelt “I love you”. Everything else is just paper and plants.
