Today’s Thought “My Funny Valentine” G. Ward

 

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.” Deuteronomy 6:5

 

As a child, I demonstrated an aptitude towards being a romantic. Valentine’s Day was a favorite way to expressing the love I had for a variety of little girls without intimidation. Year after year my parents would purchase those small paper cards that children trade and I would find the ones containing the strongest love expression to generate throughout the pretty girl region, never receiving any recognition from them at all. It is definitively stated that insanity is doing the same thing, yet expecting a different result.

Many of us grow up trading cards in the same. Moreover, Jared and Kay Jewelers will keep the lights on for this week until the last customer departs. Altogether, this anticipated day expresses conditional love for true emotional attachment. Impetuously, many are saying not true. I give on a “regardless” basis. What if the receiver doesn’t smile or say thank you, are your efforts then re-evaluated?

Loving Holy God first is the holistic approach/antidote for life’s expectations. The intimacy with HIM shares an ability to remain impervious to what might be deemed as reactionary from others, allowing me to render tokens of love, never looking back… Happy Monday!
