God speaks of a joyful heart and it's like medicine to us. I often wonder the depth of that scripture and then this day comes. A day of love and yet feeling left out. God's guides our lives and purposes dreams to come true in his timing. Things don't always line up the way we think, but they often work out for the best. Let us all focus on a God who truly loves us today and share our love with our family and friends. We can keep a joyful heart and make this day a good one. Guarding your heart because minds are human and we might expect only to get hurt.
Proverbs 17:22 talks about a joyful heart being good like medicine. So how can we make our heart happy this day? The things we think about, the prayers we hold onto and new beginnings of a new day. A day to rejoice that God is able to meet all the desires of our heart's and we must trust him.
Psalm 9:10 New International Version (NIV)
Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
Psalm 13:5 New International Version (NIV)
But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
LOVE ~ Unfailing love
I am glad that God remains the same
I realize that a day with a title like Valentine's Day does bring feelings and emotions. God gives us but it's not the same as being connected with another human being in love experience. My prayers are with those waiting for that great connection, for those who feel disappointed and alone today. I pray that God does something amazing on this day for you who read this too. It's not just another day, but a reminder day of things we have or don't have in life.
Broken relationships and broken dreams takes us down roads of disappointments. Maybe saying this, "life wasn't suppose to be this way." Maybe saying this, "when it is my turn". I see people who cry over things you might have in life. You just might not see the value in what you have. Maybe a big house and someone just needs a house. Maybe a nice car and their car is broken or they don't have one. We are all in different spots of life and yet can hold firm to God. It's important on this day not to compare your life with anyone else. God does restore live and completes places in our hearts.
My heart reaches out to you this day and everyday in my writing. I care about the readers of my blog, your family and friends. My prayers are real and my heart hears the broken plus the happy places of life. Be encouraged on this day that God has brought you to know his love is real and remains.
I know that things change and we never know what one person goes through in one day. We often think we know someone and we might not know the desires of their heart. Remember to take time to tell someone you love them today and share some smiles. God is at work guiding your love to a better today. Purpose right choices, right thoughts and right actions everyday of life.
