The book of Proverbs is, in ways, a treatise on talk. I would summarize it this way: words give life; words bring death – you choose. What does this mean? It means you have never spoken a neutral word in your life. Your words have direction to them. If your words are moving in the life direction, they will be words of encouragement, hope, love, peace, unity, instruction, wisdom, and correction. But if your words are moving in a death direction, they will be words of anger, malice, slander, jealousy, gossip, division, contempt, racism, violence, judgment, and condemnation. Your words have direction to them. When you hear the word talk you ought to hear something that is high and holy and significant and important. May God help us never to look at talk as something that doesn’t matter.

"An Early Valentine"
 
   For God so loV ed the world,
          That He gA ve
                His onL y
               BegottE n
                      SoN
                          T hat whosoever
         Believeth I n Him
            Should N ot perish,
        But have E verlasting life."
                                    John 3:16 

 
"My Valentine's Day With Jesus"
 
               
 
Jesus does not send perfume
To linger in the air
Instead He sends salvation, sweet
To show how much He cares.

He doesn't bring me candy hearts
In boxes of delight
Instead He always lets me know
I'm precious in His sight. 
            
He doesn't pass out pretty cards
Trimmed in shades of red
Instead He gave His life for me
His precious blood was shed.
 
He doesn't hand out fancy gifts
Like we would send to mother
Instead He sends a message clear
To always love each other.
 
He doesn't give me teddy bears
That whimper, please be mine"
Instead He gave His heart to me
I wear it all the time.
 
He doesn't give me roses, pink
For all the world to see
Instead He gave eternal life
That's good enough for me.
 
 
"A Valentine From Jesus"
 
         
 
I love you. 
 
You are mine. 
 
Your name is written upon My heart. 
 
Your prayers are precious to Me.
 
 Your life is in My hands. 
 
I am always with you.
 
I am nearer to you than your own heart.
 
I gave My life so that you
might live forever with Me.
 
All I ask in return is your love.
Be My Valentine,
Jesus

Have a Blessed Day
Dave and Barbara
