A Box of Chocolate

Jeremiah 31:3
Alright, yesterday's devotion may have been perfect for those in a relationship, particularly a marriage, but what if you spent this Valentine's on your own? No matter what your relationship status is take a moment to spend time today with the lover of your soul. He brings a love that is always there, one that will always be better and truer than human love and will never leave us or forsake us, one that is eternal. In Jeremiah 31:3 God states that, "I've never quit loving you and never will. Expect love, love and more love (The Message)!" Avoid being depressed if you didn't get a Valentine, flowers, or a box of chocolate because God already gave you the best gift there could ever be, his Son. God stopped at nothing to show his love for you and ensure you would always have a lasting relationship. God wants to draw us to him with his love, he doesn't force us to come, he simply waits with open arms, waits for us to knock at the door, waits for us to make contact with him. You can find love, love, perfect love when you reach out to the one who created it and knows what it should be. So while you search and wait for Mr. or Ms. Right to come along, grow in your love of God and grow in understanding what love is so when that special someone comes along your heart will be ready. It's either that or overcome your sorrow by pigging out on the biggest box of chocolate you can find and then be even more sad from the weight you'll gain. (The things of the world will never satisfy your desires or longings, so choose God!) Listen to Jesus, Lover Of My Soul today by Darlene Zschech and Hillsong Music during your quiet time.
