Love day!

I am so thankful that God has blessed me with a wonderful man to share my heart with! I am thankful that the "I love you's" and the flowers, gifts, candy, dates, etc. don't only come one day a year (even though he did send me some pretty awesome flowers today)! We also celebrated this past weekend with a sushi date, of course, and some AMAZING cupcakes from GiGi's! My two favorite foods!

But as much as I love my Joseph, I have to love my Jesus more. After all, "we love because He first loved us" (1 John 4:19). And He loves us STILL. FOREVER. NO MATTER WHAT. And it is through Him, we are able to love others. I know a lot of times I have to be mindful of how I love. If someone hurts my feelings or makes me angry, it's so easy to let my flesh take over and react based upon those feelings in a not so loving way or with not so loving words or thoughts. I struggle with it daily but my goal is to love through whatever circumstances or environment I'm in, because that's "what Jesus would do". He calls us to love EVERYONE because we are ALL His children. Not just the people we like, get along with, who are nice to us. Everyone needs love and we can all show it to someone in some way.

"From the bottom of my heart I’ll sing to You
From the depths of who I am I love You
With everything inside I’ll run to You
‘Cause all that I’ve become I owe to You

Nothing in this world could ever separate us
I will love You more than anyone on earth
Nothing I desire could ever satisfy me the way that You do

You are my forever love"
