Valentine’s Day. A day set aside to celebrate love. I found it fitting that my Bible reading for today was John 19, a chapter in which the greatest love the world has ever known was demonstrated. It tells of Jesus’ death on the cross. It’s precious, powerful, and humbling to recount what Christ has done for us. To remember His sacrifice, to see it with softened and grateful hearts—how the true King of the world stepped down from His throne of glory and came to us as a baby to live among His creation. How He bore the weight of the sin of the world upon His shoulders even though He didn’t have to. How He submitted Himself into the hands of His creation as payment for THEIR sins. It was, still is, and will always be the ultimate demonstration of love. A perfect, powerful, passionate love. A crazy deep love that melts hearts and reaches our deepest places to fill us up. A love that satisfies as no other love can. A love that calls to the loneliest of hearts, to the unwanted by this world, to the ugliest and most broken of us. A love meant for the least of these. No matter what your relationship status is today—single, married, divorced, widowed; whether your relationship seems to be thriving or feels like it’s falling apart—I pray you know the Father’s love today and that you are able to bask in it. There is One who loves you more deeply, more richly, more powerfully, more passionately, more sacrificially, more completely than any human on this ever could. And He wants you to know the love He has for you today. He wants to satisfy you with His love today. Take a minute and ask the Lord to help you view the verse above with fresh eyes. Go back and read it again, asking Him that our familiarity with it in our Christian culture would not take away from the power of the love demonstrated in this act. Lord, let those so desperately seeking to be loved today be overwhelmed by Your lavish and extravagant love for them. Let them find that their need to be wholly and purely loved with an unconditional love is met in a relationship with You. Let Your love turn our cold hearts warm, cause our dead hearts to beat again, and make our broken hearts whole and filled with hope.

What do you think an encounter with the Holy Spirit looks like? Do you expect it to be big and grandiose and somehow blaringly obvious? .... “Yes, He is most definitely behind the “big” miracles or God sightings that we see. But He is also in the “small” everyday encounters where He reveals pieces of Himself to us and helps us know Truth in a way we didn’t before. He’s so often in the little things that we don’t take the time to see, the things we don’t judge to be worthy to take notice of. Stop and take a minute. Ask yourself where you have seen Him at at work like this in your life or around you lately. Don’t dismiss the “little” things. Remember that those are sweet, precious encounters with the God who loves you so much. He’s there in the big moments and the little ones. You’re never alone. And the next time you feel that nudge from Him to call someone or send them a message of encouragement? Don’t hesitate to do it. God’s got plans to use it.” ....
