I love love. Anyone who knows me knows that I am the biggest sap and a huge romantic [seriously]. What I am not a fan of is commercialized "holidays" that make some people overly aware that they don't have someone to show them love on that one day. I am also not a fan of "holidays" that encourage people to go to extravagant measures to express their love to their significant other on that one day. I mean, really?
Why do we have to wait for February 14th to roll around to show love to those we should be constantly expressing our love to? I'm not saying you shouldn't celebrate Valentine's Day, what I am saying is that you should express love every single day. Apart from that, who said Valentine's Day had to be just about couples? Who made that rule? I don't just love my boyfriend. I love my parents, and my sister, and my friends, and my grandparents, and a million other people! Take the time to tell those you hold dear how much you love them. Tell them every single day.
Now I would like to take the time to address individuals who feel a certain way because they don't have a Valentine. Okay, what does that even mean? That means you don't have anyone to give you flowers or pretty things on that day. It also means you don't have anyone to go out with on that day and tell you nice things...
So what.
You guys [and gals] let me remind of you of someone who has given you the greatest gift of all time. A gift that can never be surpassed by anything that can be given by anyone on this earth. A gift that knows no bounds, it knows no time, and it has no limits. A gift that gives you joy every single day. Do you want to know what it is? It's love. But it's not just any love. It is an everlasting love, an eternal love [Jeremiah 31:3]. It is the love that God has for His children. God loved us so much that He gave His one and only son so that we may live! [John 3:16] God gives life. He is love [1 John 4:8].
"I have loved you with an everlasting love..."
Never forget the One who has loved you, loves you, and will always love you- now and forever. God is our forever valentine and as long as He exists [forever], you will have someone to love you. You will have someone who gives you gifts through His promises of protection, provision, and peace, you will have someone to tell you that you are fearfully and wonderfully made and that you are perfect and beautiful in His loving eyes [Psalm 139:14], you will have someone that will never leave your side [Deuteronomy 31:6]. And you will have someone to love you forever more.
Do you want a valentine? God has given and will always give everything to hold your heart. Let Him be your forever valentine and you will never be wanting of love.
So, let's think twice about posting things that aren't true. We do have a valentine!
Now, go enjoy your world. Love everyone, including yourself and let God lavish His sweet love on you [1 John 3:1]. There is nothing that would make Him [and you] happier.

This is the true Valentine! He will never leave you, or forsake you, or forget you! Thanks for the reminder that He is the Forever Valentine!
