Tug of the Heart

Happy Valentines Day everyone, whether you are single, taken, married or whatever! Hope everyone had an excuse to smile at least once today (we have one everyday in Jesus!) :-)

My one gripe about Valentines Day is the negative comments on Facebook from people. This was my first Valentines with someone this year (none of my previous relationships occurred over Valentines before!) but even in previous years I was happy just to see others be happy with each other. I didn't see the need to be negative.

This year there were a tonne of derogatory comments on Facebook and I realised that many of the comments were just attempts to hide how people really felt, that they did care about Valentines and having someone to share it with but they didn't want to show it. The ones who didn't post anything negative at all were more convincing to be honest ;)

This reminded me of the spiritual struggle we all have but particularly of the ones Atheists have. The Bible makes it clear in Romans 1:18-20 that there is no excuse for those who claim not to know God. Everybody knows there is a God but because they don't want to know Him they fight it.

Every article about Christianity on BBC News is littered with comments from Atheists belittling the faith and the British Humanist Association always seem to get to comment on them (so much for the BBC being down the middle). Why do these guys care so much? If you really don't believe in a God (and they do, they just don't want to admit it) when why does it bother you so much that some do?  Seeing them fight it so much is great proof to me that they really do think there is a God. Those who don't seem to care are a lot more convincing!

Don't fight the truth in your heart any longer, you don't need to...

Happy Valentine's Day!

I am not a part of the anti-Romeo group who hate Valentines Day. Often people who hate this day are people who are bitter over not being fussed over. Even though I haven't received a card or a present, I am not one of this group. I love LOVE and I rejoice that I have the Greatest Love in Jesus Christ.

John 15:13 - Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

Whether you are lucky enough to get a card or not today, there is a beautiful gift for all of us from someone who loves us more than any other.

The greatest love ever shown was Jesus Christ, God Himself, on the cross paying the price for our sins so that we could go to Heaven to be with Him.

Ask Him into your life tonight and I guarantee the greatest Valentines Gift of all time, one that cannot be matched!

Hebrews 9:22 - In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

Series on friendship concludes tomorrow!
