Here is a dirty little secret that most will deny around Valentine's Day. It happens all throughout the year but the "urge" gets extremely tough in the month of February.
Lust.
"Your heart can be corrupted by lust even quicker than your body. Those leering looks you think nobody notices—they also corrupt."-Matthew 5:28
So, when all the candy hearts come out... keep your heart pure. Focus on the one who really holds your heart. Whether in a relationship or not...
I used to think that only guys lusted after girls... but not at all. Because girls... lust to be lusted after. I had to realize that I needed to focus and make "The ONE" be... "The TWO" and make my relationship with Jesus priority.
Valentines Day doesn't need to be a trap... Just have fun and guard your heart from lustful emotions.
"God, teach me lessons for living
so I can stay the course.
Give me insight so I can do what you tell me—
my whole life one long, obedient response.
Guide me down the road of your commandments;
I love traveling this freeway!
Give me a bent for your words of wisdom,
and not for piling up loot.
Divert my eyes from toys and trinkets,
invigorate me on the pilgrim way.
Affirm your promises to me—
promises made to all who fear you.
Deflect the harsh words of my critics—
but what you say is always so good.
See how hungry I am for your counsel;
preserve my life through your righteous ways!"-Psalm 119:35-37
