MY VALENTINE'S STORY

Around the world, Valentine's day is known as the day of love but do you know that this day is synonymous with illicit affairs which usually culminate in unwanted pregnancies, broken hearts, disappointments, broken marriages and homes, seperations, divorce, STDs, STIs and other ugly stuff ? Valentine's day is now more of an avenue to celebrate lust instead of true and pure love the way God created it to be. And if we are to really celebrate love ,then 14th of February is not enough to do that. Everyday should be a day to love God, love ourselves and our families. God gave us a love so pure by sending HIS only Son to die for us. Who else can give a love so pure? Those cuddly teddy bears, romantic dinners, flowers or boxes of chocolate cannot in anyway compare to the gift of salvation God gave us. So in the Christian world, we should see this day as a day to celebrate God's love, the gift of salvation, fellowship with HIM and dine with our Christian brothers and sisters. I have a Valentine story of how GOD called me out of darkness into his marvelous light in 2012. That week began my wonderful adventure and beautiful walk with God. It means a lot to me because I can stand, beat my chest and declare that God loves me very much. He could have allowed me to continue in that life. But it was like he said 'Stop right there, child!' And now, 14th of February is not just Valentine's day to me; It's the light that shone out of the darkness! That's my beautiful Valentine's story, what's yours?

WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF LURV!!!

It's February, the world acclaimed month of LURV! And Yours Blogfully officially welcomes you to the month of love. As we get caught up in the Valentine celebrations this month, it's time to reflect on that one person who really ,truly loves us for who we are and not who we pretend to be. He might not take you out to dinner or buy you an extra cuddly teddy bear, he might not give you a rose flower or buy you a box of chocolates but Guess what? He gives much more than that! or why do you think Ps.40:4 says, 'Many are your wonderful works......................................................They are more than can be numbered'. You can count those chocolates or that teddy bear but Hey! You cannot count the works of God.So, if you are searching for your 'valentine', search no  further because God is the perfect val! Girls in da house, if you are crushing on 'that guy' in your class trusting and hoping for some miracle to make you his'val', there's One that even though you are not crushing on HIM, he's there 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week, 4 weeks a month and 12 months a year, He's there loving you and longing for you. Yeah! He doesn't even wait for 'Valentine' to declare his love for you or give you gifts; they are there all year round. And you say HE's not the perfect val? Better stop wasting your time on 'that boy'!
