Happy Valentine's Day to all of you out there!!!!......I shall not be discussing the beginnings nor the history of Valentine for I am sure that lots and lots of blog writers have already delineated that issue in celebration of today's feast. Rather, I shall tell you a different reflection on love.
Romanticists say that love comes from the most unexpected places, But this is true not only for love alone. God also comes to us in unexpected places and people.
In the Bible Readings of 2 Kings 15:29, we hear God using Assyria in order to talk to Israel. Assyria is a pagan nation which does not believe in Yahweh! And yet, God uses a pagan nation to talk to His chosen people. Israel does not realize this. Perhaps, Assyria does not even acknowledge that she is being used by God as an instrument. But God does it just the same.

In the Gospel, God reveals His message to children. He does not reveal His message to theologians or intellectuals. He does not do so to the richest people in society, but to children: the most taken-for-granted sector of society.
The way of God brings forth unexpected joys. If only we could open our eyes to the reality of God talking to us through unexpected people, places and events, then our lives would never be boring. We get bored only because we lack faith. It is only in faith that we discover God. Let us open our eyes and ears to His message!

YES! I strongly agree with u kuyaDom! GOD is always showing His love, care, good thoughts in defferent ways, place and even in different individuals... kaso tau we just ignore or dont mind it..nagbubulag-bulagan at nag bibingihan tayo and thats the reason why we always said GOD is so UNFAIR...coz we dont really see Him!
YOUR one of the million individual used by Him to show His LOVE, CARE, GOOD THOUGHTS and GOOD NEWS! and you make ME/US readers happy and safe in GOD through ur reflections!
have a nice day!
