February for some is a depressing time of year.  Bills have come due, the cold weather has settled in, and life can be dark and lonesome.  Well, right in middle of all this gloom is the "Love Day", or what we call Valentine's Day.  A day to remember that special someone in our lives and let them know how much we care.  Not unlike God’s plan for our lives.  Just when we didn’t think that life could get any more complicated or hard, God sent us a "Valentine", the greatest message of love you have ever received.  John 3:16  “For God so love the world..”  I challenge you today to realize that He wants to have an intimate, loving relationship with you.  God loved you enough to send His Son to take the punishment of your sin on Him.  Now if that isn’t love? 

I challenge you to meditate and pray this prayer taken from “3:16” series.  “Lord I get it.  YOU LOVE ME.  Seeing everything – every shortcut, every stumbling step, everyday I am stuck in the mire of self-doubt and worry.  YOU LOVE ME.  And there’s nothing I can do that will change Your love.  Though I long to earn Your love, even then Your love marches on!  Even when I fail, YOU LOVE ME.  Jesus I realize You didn’t die to make me better.  You died because YOU LOVE ME.  And Your love is enough.”
