Happy Heart Day!!

I love valentine's day! I know that it is just a lame holiday created to make people spend money:) but I love it for many reasons. I used to love v-day for the wrong reasons. I was selfish and wanted Gabe to be romantic and when we were first married I had many expectations that were not met:) My husband is sooo wonderful but at first being romantic was not his specialty and my expectations of him were way too high...poor guy!
Now I love V-day because it reminds me of how blessed I am to have so many people who I love so much in my life. I also love it because it is a day were so many people are focused on others instead of themselves. It is a day where giving is encouraged and appreciated!

When you look around at v-day decorations there are always hearts so today I did a word study of the word HEART during my quiet time. Our heart is the center of our relationship with the Lord. Others see our actions but the Lord knows our hearts. I love knowing that the Lord knows me intimately and cares for me deeply. We can give so many aspects of our lives to the Lord but if we have not truly given our heart to Him we will never know Him! I want to always be crying out to the Lord, "Search me, O God, and know my heart!! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any greivous way in me and lead me in the way everlasting!" Psalm 139:23-24
Search your heart today on "heart" day...better yet ask the Lord to search your heart and be willing to do the work that He has for you to do today!!
love you all
