Pressure-Free Love

Oh, Valentines Day, you give us such pressure!

Do you feel it, too? Pressure to get

the perfect card, or gift, pressure to remember all the things the kids need for school today, pressure to have a valentine..ugh. This day can be such a sweet day, but it can also hit a bitter place in the heart if you are lonely, or if your marriage is struggling.

If you're not feeling the Valentine mood, or if you're alone, I hope you can trust that you are a deeply beloved child of God, and you have a place in this world. With God, however you understand him/her, there is no pressure. Your beloved-ness is not questionable, not based on performance, or how you've behaved. It is just who you are- beloved.

Ridiculously loved.

And if your heart is full today, spread love around like crazy.

No matter who you are, you are worth being loved.
