Download or read book Jesus My Valentine written by Henrietta Hunter and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest gift the world has is God’s love for us. The love God has for us precipitated God sending us Jesus to bring us back into a loving fellowship with him. With all the hate, evil, and pain that exist in the world, humanity cannot forget the power of love and the sovereignty of God. God is love, and since God is sovereign, love still reigns not only in the hearts of men and women but in the heart of God, and it is inextricably interwoven within our salvation story. Our Christian salvific story is one of love; it is a narrator of love. We were made to love and made to be loved. We were made in the image of God, and God being love denotes we were made to love, be loved, and desire a relationship with those we love. God desires a relationship with us because he loves us. The love of the Father is manifested through the deeds of Jesus Christ in the Father’s desired to be back in relationship with his creation. The love God has for his creation must be dramatize and visualized in how we love one another and relate to those we love. God’s will need to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Henrietta Hunter’s Jesus My Valentine explores how interconnected the love we experience in our personal lives (i.e. romantically, platonically) to our love for God. She demonstrates this by outlining how the love and passion that the lover in Songs of Solomon possesses for his love is an extended analogy to God’s love for us and how God’s people ought to pursue him as their lover. Her work calls readers to experience God’s love through the way we experience love with others; reciprocally, the way readers experience love with one another is the same way readers are to experience being in love with God. Henrietta introduced the magnitude of love on a horizontal level, which is eye level, a level reader can grasp and then raise our spiritual conscious to above-eye level, which is a vertical love. Jesus My Valentine argues both are necessary to truly make Jesus our valentine. It is when Jesus become our valentine that we come to know true love and the true meaning of true love, realizing it is impossible for Jesus to be your valentine without the love of people and the people without Jesus being your valentine is not possible. Henrietta’s journey within Jesus My Valentine takes us from the historicity of Valentine’s Day to the evolution of how we contemporarily celebrate Valentine’s Day. She matriculates from a historical view of Valentine’s Day to a theological view of Valentine’s Day, moving from an anthropocentric (human) view of love to a theocentric (God) view of love. Jesus My Valentine calls readers to replicate the wooing they extend on Valentines for their lovers to how readers approach and love on Jesus. Henrietta outlines how readers are to love Jesus and make him their valentine in very practical ways. If you asked Henrietta how to make Jesus your valentine? According to this text, she would suggest it is like the way a wife knows her husband and the way a husband gets to know his wife. It is a love that comes from a knowledge that is only generated by living together, by responding to each other’s daily interests and by the needs, and by listening and being present.

Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered if you’re the only one who’s hurt, struggling, lonely, and confused? It’s not just you. Grace Valentine wants you to know one thing for sure: You’re not alone in your struggle. You’re not the only one feeling freaked out by the future. You’re not the only one dealing with crap. You’re not alone! Many women joke about having trust issues—laughing at their struggle because it feels common but secretly feeling there is no hope. Grace Valentine was one of them. In her twenties, she realized her trust issues were not humorous because, in reality, hers were trust issues with Jesus, her community, her family, and herself. And they were destroying her faith. Grace told herself she was simply being realistic, but the truth was, she was entangled with doubt and lies. In Grace’s second book, Is It Just Me?, she’ll walk you through how to handle rejection, stop joking about your issues, and find peace and healing for your scars by answering five deeply felt questions: Am I the only one who is tired, overwhelmed, doubting, and fearful? Am I the only one who feels hurt and lonely? Am I the only one who still is struggling to find my purpose? Am I the only one struggling to trust that God is there? Am I the only one confused about how to be an adult? Grace’s prayer is that as you journey with her through early adulthood, you’ll remember you have a Savior who loves you, flaws and all. By learning to trust in God’s design and His plans for your future, you’ll find you have everything you need to thrive in your twenties—and beyond.

Grace Valentine has felt the pressure of trying to survive in a toxic culture, let alone thrive. But she’s had enough. Grace uses her story to confront the lies the world tells us every day—lies such as: You are beautiful—but only because a guy told you so Love must be earned and isn’t freely given You should forget your past You will never be enough Am I Enough? is a line in the sand. It’s a declaration that we will never be enough for this world, because we were created by Someone better for something better. Grace's fresh voice will help you leave your insecurities behind and realize your unique identity in Christ. Discover how to push past the lies and find confidence in who you were made to be!

Download or read book Whiter Than Snow written by Paul David Tripp and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2008-06-26 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you do when you've really blown it? Is sin really as dangerous and is grace really as powerful as the Bible says they are? Is there such a thing as a new beginning? Sin and grace-these are the two themes of our lives. We all blow it and we all need to start over again. In Psalm 51, David tells his story of moral failure, personal awareness, grief, confession, repentance, commitment, and hope. And because David's story is every believer's story, Psalm 51 is every believer's psalm. It tells how we, as broken sinners, can be brutally honest with God and yet stand before him without fear. Whiter Than Snow unpacks this powerful little psalm in fifty-two meditations, reminding readers that by God's grace there is mercy for every wrong and grace for every new beginning. Designed for busy believers, these brief and engaging meditations are made practical by the reflection questions that conclude each chapter.
