My Best Valentine Gift -The Bible

Good morning everyone, it's a beautiful hot day.
The month of February is all about spreading love and giving. Yesterday was valentine day, and a whole lot had happened between that hour.
Well for me, I celebrated my val in examination hall soaking in hot seat.
After my exams, i headed back to my hostel just to discover that a lot of people had received their valentine gift already.... awwwwww....

Valentine isn't my thing, for some of us it is just an ordinary day, for some people it is lovers day.
For me, it is to celebrate the love of God instead because why not....... The greatest lover during this period is God..... Argue with your keyboards.

Since it Valentine's day, i will be participating in this particular topic.
What is the best gift you have ever received? How did you feel when you opened it? If you haven’t received a gift before, what would you want as a gift? Who knows, someone here might want to surprise you

Like i said before, i have never gotten anything like that before. Infact valentine doesn't move me.
My first ever valentine gift was the gift of a bible.
I'm not saying this to move anyone, i am saying this because I remember it and I cried.

In my jss3, that was when i knew God for myself. Not as if i didn't know him, i knew him, i knew his work i believed him and you know... But i wasn't convinced that I knew him.... Sometimes i doubted his existence. At the stage of my life, ..... Bible wasn't my thing, I didn't have one and i wasn't bothered.
My parents got us bible once, and it was stolen, i felt it was stolen because i didn't see any use of it and the person that was interested took it in the hostel.

I didn't even moved or shake. But the day that i discovered the use of the bible was when i received the gift of salvation. My bestfriend in my secondary school then was a strong believer always converting others to Christ but couldn't convert her own close friend. Trust me she was always very sad... She always tried.... But then, I just wanted to live my life then, because i felt everything was going well for me.

But the day i accepted Christ as my personal lord and savior, i knew that God used her to arrest me, she was so excited. I felt this joy that i didn't always have...peace of mind and a new heart. I was excited to see a great change in my life.

On February 14th 2015.... My girl gifted me a bible....that is something that has lasted me up till now, it has faded, it hasn't been stolen because I am not careless about it, I know it worth and value.

**this has been my favorite scripture since then(proverb 3) it has really helped me.

Until now, the bible is still there hasn't faded and the gift of my salvation in me is still alive. Some valentine gifts had faded, misplaced or even been dashed out. But mine is stored in my heart, day and night.

Thank you for reminding me of this wonderful encounter #hiveghanacommunity. It was really fantastic writing this.
