Valentine's.. By the Live 31 Team

Loving Life - By Funmi. O 

So it’s that time of the year again *sigh*… flowers, cards and chocolates but not a single one being sent to me…again! I know what you’re going to tell me; I’ve got Jesus---I don’t need a man---focus on loving yourself etc... but... but...
But nothing. The Bible tells us that there’s a time for everything (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Life is about seasons- a time when we “have someone” and a time when we’re “alone”.
And whilst we long for future seasons of our lives, we must embrace the current season we find ourselves in; trusting and believing God that it’s all in His divine plan for our lives. But what does this “alone” actually mean? Why is it seen as a negative to be alone?         
                                                   
We need to get the understanding that we can be alone but content. We came to the world as a single person and our sole purpose of creation was not to be hitched with someone but to glorify God with that which He has placed in us (Adam was in his assignment before Eve was given to him- Genesis 2:15). So don’t see your life as incomplete because you’re not with someone. Christ completes you and everything else is an addition.

Discover the potential/treasure/gift uniquely placed in you and share it with the world!                                                                                                        
In this season of your life, why not get the most out of your “alone time” by enjoying life to the fullest.. “For I have come that they may have life, and have it to the fullest” (John 10:10).                                   
So use this time to enjoy socials with your friends, get to know God better etc.                                                
Be adventurous… challenge yourself… do things you’ve never done before… take swimming lessons lol… go on holiday… eat something new… treat yourself to something nice. Just LOVE LIFE because not everybody’s got it.
John 10:10 x
