a gift money can't buy

S.A.D.... Single's Awareness Day... funny huh? Well, i thought i was. Anyways, i hope everyone who reads this has had an awesome V-Day! Tonight i don't want to go into much detail about anything, i just want to say what i'm thinking without wasting 5 minutes of your time by reading a whole long, drawn out blog. So, here goes nothing.

I've never really thought about God on Valentine's Day. I mean, if you really think about it, He's the author of Love. And without love, we are nothing but insignificant beings roaming the face of this planet, hopelessly searching for something that we cannot obtain... that is, until roughly 2,000 years ago.

You see, the best gift we've ever gotten, either for Christmas, birthday, Valentine's Day... whatever, is the gift of Christ. I mean if you really think about it, we've become numb to the fact that God... OUR God, came down here on this planet, walked, talked, ate... with people. And He knew exactly what He was here for. His entire 33 years of existence (as a human upon the earth) He knew He was going to die a death that was, at the time, the worst possible way any human being could die... and yet He still went through with it.

It's funny, because we (myself included) walk around this Earth, HIS Earth, and act like we actually deserved everything that happened that day upon the hill at Golgotha. We actually think we deserved it... when in all reality we don't (if you disagree, i'll be glad to show you otherwise). We don't deserve the computer we're playing on, the clothes we have on, the air we're breathing... we don't deserve anything! And yet, the God, OUR God, gave it all to us in the form of a "card" if you will. Hallmark couldn't think this stuff up man! This is as real as it gets. Jesus Christ was the best V-Day gift ever given... and do you know why?

It was given out of Love.
