The Ultimate Valentine

You know everyone thinks that Valentine's Day is the only day that we shed love.  Well the real Valentine's Day was Resurrection Day (aka Easter).

God decided one day that instead of sending flowers to you that will become all brown and die... or even candy that will become hard...  even a stuffed animal that one day you won't like... He Said,

I will give you something greater. You know what? I will give you my Son. And He will die for you... but instead of being like the flower, He will raise again and continually brighten up your day. And He will be hard, but not like the candy that you can't eat. He will be more like a strong foundation that you will be able to use when enemies come your way. And He will get dirty though... but not from dirt... by your sins. But hey, cheer up because He has to. He will take all your sins away. I will have to look away from Him, but He will be clean again. When He is, you will never have to worry if you feel like there is no love, cause I love you. And even some of you will look away, because you don't like it anymore, but I still love you. And if you just take my Valentine's gift, you can be here with me for all eternity. But this isn't just a gift to you! Share to many, cause this Valentine's gift is the greatest of all.
