Valentine's Day

Today was a great day. I can honestly state this is the first time in years where I didn't feel lonely on Valentine's Day. In years past, I would get depressed because I didn't have a significant other with whom I could share the day. But then, this scripture came to mind:

¹⁶"For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life."

John 3:16 (Amplified Bible)

How amazing is God? And Jesus for that matter. That is a love that is almost incomprehensible. The love it took to give a Son and for that Son to agree to lay down His life. When I really stop and ponder that type of love, it makes me realize how much God cares about every detail of my life. He fills voids, removes sadness, and fills my life with extreme joy.

But the most amazing part is that I am not willing to settle ever again. Did that once and well, it was a mess. But through that experience I learned that God's best is worth waiting for. To know that God is preparing me for a man that will truly love me the way He loves the church, leaves no room for compromise.

Today I learned, that a happy, healthy marriage is very possible. Because I refuse to accept anything less, I will continue to wait.
