Valentine Musings

Do you remember Valentine's Day in (primary) grade school?  The day held forth the promise of cupcakes and cookies and kool-aid brought in by the Moms.

Decorated brown paper bags that had been painstakingly embellished, were taped to the front of your desk.  Empty bags but open and beckoning, hoping 2 receive paper heart-shaped treasures dropped into them through out the day.  Oh the expectation, anticipation and bated breath!

Who could possibly explain that a  bag full of small white envelopes holding corny, folded valentine's with silly sayings, meant that you were counted in and not on the outside looking in?

How many were painfully aware of the rejects and rebuffs? Not knowing that you were Already CHOSEN.  Already LOVED.  Already desperately desired as aValentine?

This Valentine's Day, I pray that you will embrace the Love that is ALREADY yours!  I pray that you will turn and find your deepest desires not just met but fulfilled beyond all expectations and that you will be overwhelmed and swept away by the Lover of Your Soul. The ONE who knows you better than you know yourself and is as close as your  own skin because that is where HE desires to be, under your skin, in the crevices of your heart and in every area of your life!   

HE was there at each and every Valentine's day from your past, both the happy and the sad ones.  Before you were even born He hummed and sang over you: 

"I am your Valentine, Will you be Mine? Will you supine and your heart let Me entwine?  I will be the song your heart sings, with words and melody that only Heaven brings!  I love you so, more than you know, and I shall lovingly watch you grow. I shall wait for you, wait for you, wait for you My Love! For I died for you, bled for you, rose to give you life anew!  I call to you, and woo you, and draw you to Me, your whole life through.  So come to Me, dine with Me, recline with Me, and let me sing to you!  Laugh with Me, smile with Me, cry tears for Me that others may know My Love that's True, for don't you know I've cried tears for all of you?  Flow with Me, Grow with Me, Then Go for Me, and Show for Me the Love that I gave to you. Reach for Me, Teach for Me, Use the Gifts I've Given to you.  Love's the Key that opens the door, and there is so much more, just waiting for you to explore!  So Come my Valentine, let your heart incline and feast on My Love sublime." Jesus

No Second Thoughts

Rom 11:29  (AMP)  For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call]

Jam 1:17 (AMP)  Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse].

I want you to know that I have planted good gifts inside of you.  I put them there at my pleasure and choosing.  Whether you choose to use them, develop them fully, and step into place of honor and favor that they will bring to you, is totally up to you. Remember that it is written, that through the Divine Power of My Son, I have given you all things that pertain to Life and Godliness.

Step into the greatness of My CALL upon your life! Stir up the gifts, the dreams, the talents that I Your God have placed inside of you!  I have called you to glory and virtue.  There is a mantle of holiness and life that I have enveloped you in.  It is My Life. The Zoe Life that I meant for you to live and move and have your being in.  It is found only in Me, by the Grace and through the Blood of My Son. 

You dancers, dance for Me! Musicians, play for Me! Singers, sing the songs that I give.  Business men conduct yourselves by My virtues and My way of doing and being right.  Godly principles never go out of style, nor bring you to ruin!

Let the earth see Me through you.  It desperately needs Me, and I need YOU!  So, GO! Shine on.
I haven't changed my mind at all.
