A friend has this as her whatsapp status "Jesus, be my valentine cuz I don't have one." I can say with all authority that the Jesus of the Bible isn't interested in such an offer.
It sounds pretty much like the way some people do evangelism today - "you have a good job, a good income, good spouse or children, all things are working right for you, you lack just one thing. You need Jesus to make your life complete." Or "you need to build your house on the rock, you have all you need but it isn't enough, you need to get your house off the sand unto the rock." Such foolishness.
Jesus isn't some accessory you add to your life. Jesus isn't a peripheral you add to your computer system. My Jesus isn't some ribbon you need to beautify your life. You who have all you ever wanted, Jesus doesn't need or want you. Jesus won't 'come into your life' to make it complete.
The Jesus of Holy Scripture wants to be your life. He wants to be all you desire. He wants to be all you count worthy. He wants to be the first and last in your life. He wants to be the system. He wants to be the house and the rock.
Jesus, won't be your valentine cuz no one else will, but He will be if you admit that no one else can. Shalom.
