HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

By Dana  L. Christmas-McCain

When I say, “I love you!”

Know that what I say is true

My love for you is eternal

My love is exceptional

And I lived so that you would have a godly example to do it too

No need to describe it with words

One word would suffice

CROSS

Where My body was bruised, nailed, and left to hang high

Yes, I have done more than “crossed hearts and hoped to die”

I soften hearts with a gentle knock

Resurrected so you wouldn’t have to taste death

Yes daughter of mine

I love you and you will never have to doubt whether it’s a lie

My love outweighs all the “Valentine Days”

I gave more than cards, candies and sexual escapades

Daughters, I love you and did not have to be persuaded

Me, yes me

I loved you first

Didn’t have to wait until after the first 50 dates

No my child, my love does not pervert

It’s the essence of my being

Although holy I desired to give you the best gift

Me

Only to you I pray that I would be enough

But some of you weigh my love against the number of Hershey kisses, teddy bears and other perishable stuff

Daughter I love you

I gave you my best gift

He hung high with his arms wide and for you I turned away

So that you and I would be reconciled some day

Can you see how much you are loved?

Even when others ignore you

Reject you

Mistreat you my child

Know that your FATHER is available and my love continues to unfold

One petal at a time

So as you stop and smell the roses

Or dig into that box of chocolates

Know that I wrote the most inspired letter written

The best love story ever penned

For my love is eternal and by the demonstration on the cross

Can you see that I am very much committed?

I won’t force you to read it though

Nor will I forcefully enter your heart

Remember, I’m a Gentleman

I promise I won’t break your heart

But remember when the men in your life fail you

I am trustworthy and will never leave you nor forsake you

The love I have for you is beyond human

I love thee with an everlasting love

I love you freely

Rich in mercy I am

A great love I have for you

Void of the attempt to take advantage of you

You who dwell in love

Dwells in me

And I dwell in you

Rest in my love

Everlasting consolation

Good hope through grace

My love for you will exceed all of your expectations

I love you……
