“BE MY VALENTINE”

Be my valentine??

How much money will be spent on Valentine’s cards, flowers, candy, jewelry, and other things to make up for a bad mood most of the time?

Yes, we should show those we Love how special they are on Valentine’s Day, and you can never do to much for those you have in your life!

But what about all the other days of the year? What about the days when it is cold, rainy, hot as blazes, or/and we do not feel good or want to go to work or handle the other responsibilities that face us and we take it out on those around us.

We may apologize and declare that we are just in “A BAD MOOD”!

Do we every examine why we are in a bad mood?

May I tell you something that Bill Johnson said that I think is something we should look at!

“GOD IS ALWAYS IN A GOOD MOOD”!

You may say, “Well, if I were God, I could always be in a good mood”!

Have you noticed that when you are in a bad mood or out of sorts you have no peace. Peace brings a calmness that will cause us to Love others and treat them as Jesus would. Peace is my birthright in Christ!

1 John 4:9 (KJV)
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Jesus gave himself because He Loved. When we receive that Love we can Love others correctly as we abide in that Love!

We have a choice! We can abide in our feelings, blame everyone around us, feel guilty, think the world revolves around us, and be in a bad mood much of the time or we can take the Peace Jesus came to give, and walk in Faith and Victory everyday of our life.

The dictionary gives the definition of mood as:

: a conscious state of mind or predominant emotion : FEELING

: a prevailing attitude

If you walk in your feelings, if your attitude is wrong a lot of the time, you will be battling a bad mood often!

Jesus said:

John 14:27 (KJV)
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Do you think fear and trouble steal our peace and put us in a bad mood? Absolutely! But in this scripture above, Jesus promised peace!

John 15:12 (KJV)
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

We can only follow that commandment as we walk in Peace. We can only walk in Peace as we let Jesus reign in our hearts and face everyday knowing our life is in His hands and He will direct and light our way.

The world cannot give that kind of Peace and the world cannot take it away. Genuine Peace will cause genuine Love deep in our hearts and cause Unity with the special person in our life to be a lifestyle and not just a day.

I encourage you to celebrate this day. If you have a wife or husband or a significant other, show them this day how special they are. Flowers, cards, gifts, or words of love are needed and appreciated.

But do not stop with today. Let your actions and your attitudes and your words each day, reflect your Love for them and your knowledge of your Love for each other!

We should all take a moment this day to express our Love for the true expression of Love: our salvation through Jesus sacrifice!

You are His! You are Special! You are His Valentine, and He gives you Peace!

We cannot be filled with His Love and Peace and be in a bad mood!

“GOD IS ALWAYS IN A GOOD MOOD’!

Father, in Jesus name I come with a grateful heart that you Love me with a Love that never wavers! You fill me with Peace and the realization of how special I am, and this enables me to let your agape Love flow to others. May we all see others with your kind of Love and may we see ourselves as Loved and highly favored of you! We can walk in confidence from you! Amen!

Rejoice Always!

Love, MeMaw!
