my ultimate valentine.

Some of you may think that the person behind the title of my post today is my boyfriend or other lover. But this Valentine's Day I got something different and I want to share it with you guys. (cautions: this post might be long and dead boring; so before you feel that, i hope you read this precautions first :D)

Valentine's Day is a celebration of love. Period. It's not a celebration of love with boyfriend, nor a celebration of love by having a scrumptious dinner at top fine dining restaurant, nor a celebration of love for those who are not single. No. It's a celebration of love with and for everyone.

This Valentine's Day is going to be different, because despite all the loved ones and beloved partner I have, I cannot forget someone, this one person who matter the most in my life. He is Jesus.

It is not a common thought thinking Jesus or God as your Valentine, I know. But since Valentine is a celebration of love, His love must be taken into account too 'coz (for me) His love is the greatest above all. What people do might make you weak on your knees, burst into tears, and say "aaawww, that's so sweet". What Jesus do make me fall on my knees, shed tears, and say "You have changed my life, it'll never be the same ever again".

I might break up with my boyfriend (knock on the wood :D), married couple might got divorced, friends stab each other at the back, people might leave and let you down, but I can guarantee you, He will never ever ever ever let you go. He will always be there, even you don't love Him anymore, He will always do. He is your and my secret lover. He loves us so much that He sacrifices His own life at the cross thousand years ago.

"There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." -John15:13 (NLT)

Truly, there's no greater love than His. That wide open arms at the cross, saying THIS IS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.

Tell me, how could I say no to that? I have no reason to not love Him, 'coz He loves me first.

I'm not going to preach on Valentine's Day, I just want to share how I feel His great love, and I'm sure His love is for me, for you, for each and everyone of us. All I can say at the end of the day is

"Jesus, You are my ultimate Valentine."
