His Valentine

"My beloved speaks and says to me,

Rise up, my love, my fair one,

and come away.

For, behold, the winter is past;

the rain is over and gone.

The flowers appear on the earth;

the time of singing of birds has come,

and the voice

of the turtledove

is heard in our land.

The fig tree

puts forth her green figs

and the vines

are in blossom 

and give forth their fragrance.

Arise, my love, my fair one,

and come away."

-Song of Solomon 2:10-13

Do I heed Christ

when He bids me

to come away from the

lion's den of temptation

and dwell with Him?

Am I willing

to have the north wind

of adversity 

blow upon me,

if it will better fit me

for Christ's presence

and companionship?

In my weariness

from earthly cares,

do I hesitate

to answer

when the Divine Shepherd

knocks at my door,

and so turn Him 

from me?

-The Amplified Bible

"Fear not,

for you will not be ashamed;

neither be confounded and

depressed, for you shall

not be put to shame.

For you shall forget

the shame of your youth,

and you shall not seriously

remember the reproach

of your widowhood 

any more.

Vladimir Volegov

For Your Maker is Your Husband,

the Lord of hosts is His name

and the Holy One of Israel

is your Redeemer;

the God of the whole earth

He is called."

Isaiah 54:4-5

Although the 54th chapter of Isaiah

reflects God's joy over redemption,

it is also His personal

love letter to His forsaken daughters,

the lonely, the disappointed, the

childless, the widow,

to let them know that

while the circumstances of

their lives might have

caused them to feel

rejected, even worthless,

He will never leave

nor forsake them.

Isaiah 54 has all

the blessed assurance that

despite our outward circumstances,

we are His own true love and

He is ours, forever.

“All are yours,

 and you are of Christ,

 and Christ is of God.”

 1 Corinthians 3:22-23

Loved with everlasting love,

 led by grace that love to know;
Gracious Spirit from above,

 Thou hast taught me it is so!
O this full and perfect peace! 

O this transport all divine!
In a love which cannot cease, 

I am His, and He is mine.
In a love which cannot cease,

 I am His, and He is mine.

Heav’n above is softer blue,

Earth around is sweeter green!
Something lives in every hue

 Christless eyes have never seen;
Birds with gladder songs o’erflow, 

flowers with deeper beauties shine,
Since I know, as now I know,

 I am His, and He is mine.
Since I know, as now I know, 

I am His, and He is mine.

Things that once were wild alarms

 cannot now disturb my rest;
Closed in everlasting arms,

 pillowed on the loving breast.
O to lie forever here, 

doubt and care and self resign,
While He whispers in my ear,

 I am His, and He is mine.
While He whispers in my ear,

 I am His, and He is mine.

His forever, only His;

 Who the Lord and me shall part?
Ah, with what a rest of bliss 

Christ can fill the loving heart!
Heav’n and earth may fade and flee,

 firstborn light in gloom decline;
But while God and I shall be, 

I am His, and He is mine.
But while God and I shall be,

 I am His, and He is mine.
