“People can’t be our only source of peace and consolation; we need a comforter who will never fail. We’re blessed with a savior who sticks with us through the most difficult circumstances. He’s not hidden or unapproachable. As our perfect father, lover, and friend, he remains by our side forever” (from my book, Eve Blameless and Beloved: Freedom from Lies That Say You’re Not Enough).
Years ago, during a particularly difficult season in my life, my husband had to leave on a business trip. I pleaded with him to stay, but he said it was necessary. A part of me felt abandoned, and my heart broke a little. But in that moment, Jesus gently reminded me: I am with you. I will never leave you. That truth wrapped around me like a warm embrace. (And just so you know—I’m not throwing my husband under the bus! We’ve since shared many wonderful years together.)
As Valentine’s Day approaches, while some look forward to flowers and chocolate, others may be feeling the ache of disappointment and loss. If that’s you, take heart. The love you long for—the one that never fails—is already yours.
One of my favorite verses was spoken to nation, but taken personally, it reminds us of God’s faithfulness:
I’ve always imagined that being serenaded would be the height of romance. This verse tells us that God himself sings over us. Can you picture that? The Creator of the universe delighting in you, his voice lifted in a song of love?
If you’re still waiting for a knight in shining armor to rescue you, remember—your Mighty Warrior has already come. He is with you. He loves you. And he will never leave your side.
Embrace Him!
Have a blessed Valentine’s Day.
