As Valentine's Day approaches many of us are out shopping. We are getting something for our S/O, our kids, our parents, or maybe even a special friend. We are getting candy, cards, roses, and teddy bears. We are thinking and racking our brain on what to get the most special people in our life. What can we buy that will show our love?
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
God gave us an incredible gift to show his love... His son, Jesus. Jesus paid the ultimate price and gave his life to show us how much we are loved. We don't have a huge diamond to show off, or a card pinned to the fridge, or a soft teddy bear to snuggle. We don't have physical objects from the king of Love to remind us how loved we are.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So what do we have? Miracles of kindness, forgiveness, healing, grace, mercy, a reckless and unconditional love, a savior, a king who has crowned us as heirs to eternity, every gift and promise of God, the list is endless... But the true gift is simply his presence. To sway in his awe inspiring, strong and overwhelming, yet peaceful and loving presence, is a heart shifting kind of love!
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I just wanted to take a moment to pour out our love on the one who poured out his life.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
King David's words below do such a wonderful Job at pouring out gratitude and love, and recognizing how marvelous God's love is for us!

With my whole heart, with my whole life, and with my innermost being, I bow in wonder and love before you, the holy God! Yahweh, you are my soul’s celebration. How could I ever forget the miracles of kindness you’ve done for me? You kissed my heart with forgiveness, in spite of all I’ve done. You’ve healed me inside and out from every disease. You’ve rescued me from hell and saved my life. You’ve crowned me with love and mercy. You satisfy my every desire with good things. You’ve supercharged my life so that I soar again like a flying eagle in the sky! You’re a God who makes things right, giving justice to the defenseless. You unveiled to Moses your plans and showed Israel’s sons what you could do. Lord, you’re so kind and tenderhearted and so patient with people who fail you! Your love is like a flooding river overflowing its banks with kindness. You don’t look at us only to find our faults, just so that you can hold a grudge against us. You may discipline us for our many sins, but never as much as we really deserve. Nor do you get even with us for what we’ve done. Higher than the highest heavens— that’s how high your tender mercy extends! Greater than the grandeur of heaven above is the greatness of your loyal love, towering over all who fear you and bow down before you! Farther than from a sunrise to a sunset— that’s how far you’ve removed our guilt from us. The same way a loving father feels toward his children— that’s but a sample of your tender feelings toward us, your beloved children, who live in awe of you. You know all about us, inside and out. You are mindful that we’re made from dust. Our days are so few, and our momentary beauty so swiftly fades away! Then all of a sudden we’re gone, like grass clippings blown away in a gust of wind, taken away to our appointment with death, leaving nothing to show that we were here. But Lord, your endless love stretches from one eternity to the other, unbroken and unrelenting toward those who fear you and those who bow facedown in awe before you. Your faithfulness to keep every gracious promise you’ve made passes from parents, to children, to grandchildren, and beyond. You are faithful to all those who follow your ways and keep your word. Yahweh has established his throne in heaven; his kingdom rules the entire universe. So bless the Lord, all his messengers of power, for you are his mighty heroes who listen intently to the voice of his word to do it. Bless and praise the Lord, you mighty warriors, ministers who serve him well and fulfill his desires. I will bless and praise the Lord with my whole heart! Let all his works throughout the earth, wherever his dominion stretches— let everything bless the Lord!
Psalms 103:1-22 TPT
