Ravishing

Today is a day that you can either hate or you can love.

Valentine's Day.

Most of the time we don't like Valentine's day because of the fact that it reminds us that we are alone. All of the couples come out of hiding and display their love for their significant other on those days and it makes us who are single feel kind of poopy about ourselves. I don't know about you but being single on Valentine's Day only makes me feel like there must be something wrong with me.

"Why does no one love me?"
"Am I not pretty enough?"
"How come Susie with the big nose has a boyfriend and I don't?"

Come on, be honest you think those things! We all have and still do!!

Now for those of us who have that special someone, Valentine's Day is a day to be loved and made feel special! The flowers, the chocolate, the kisses, and romance.... You are made to remember the love that is there for you, you are showered with affection and made to feel like you are the sun, moon, earth, and stars.

Now I am sure you are like, what in the world does this have to do with #ProjectYouAre? I am glad you asked! (Well, I think you are asking at least!)

You see whether you have a Valentine or not, you are still loved.

Cliche right?

But I don't mean loved like oh I love my dog, or my mom loves me, or I love pizza! I mean that someone is crazy in love with you. Head over heels, madly, completely, and wondrously in love with you.

When He sees you, He can't breathe. When He looks into your eyes, He is overwhelmed with your beauty...

"...You have ravished My heart...."

Ravished. Now that's a word that you don't hear often...

Ravished: Enthralled, enchanted, to take delight in, captivated.

My dear, today is a day to focus on the fact that you are ravishing to God. He cannot believe how beautiful that you are. He stands in wonder at how you are made, how your heart beats, how many hairs you have on your head. He thinks you are the most beautiful thing He has ever laid eyes on.

So on Valentine's Day, whether you have a significant other or not, you have a Valentine. You is passionately and madly in love with you.

You have ravished your Valentine.
