Pause for Prayer: FRIDAY 2/9

Pause for Prayer: FRIDAY 2/9


February 14 (not February 9) is Valentines Day – but this year February 14 is also Ash Wednesday and my blog that day will be devoted to the beginning of Lent. So please accept this early Valentines greeting from someone who loves you very much!

God’s Valentine for You 


  No one has loved you longer than I have:
        I loved you before you were born, before you were conceived,
           before all time began… 

  No one holds you closer than I do:
         I’m right by your side 24/7/365
            – I’m truly your BFF…


  No one loves you more faithfully than I do:
         my love for you is unfailing,
            I love you with no strings attached…


  No one loves you more wisely than I do:
        I guide you through all of your troubles,
           my wisdom and counsel are my gifts to you…


  No one loves you more mercifully than I do:
        I freely forgive you and forgive you again,
           I’ll always give you a new beginning …


  No one loves you more deeply than I do:
        I dwell in your heart of hearts,
           I make my home in the depths of your soul…


  No one loves you more joyfully than I do,
        I delight in the person I made you to be,
           I love you more than you know or imagine…


  No one loves you more passionately than I do,
          I gave my Beloved out of love for you:
            now I call you my chosen, my child, my own…


  No one loves you more graciously than I do:
           I love you more than anyone has,
              ever can, ever could, ever will…
         
No one loves you more fully than I do
         for indeed, I Am Love: I abide in you
           and you in me, for ever and ever.  Amen.
