Valentine’s Day
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:10-11
Valentine’s Day is supposed to be the holiday for love. Every year, the candy stores and flower shops make millions of dollars so we can celebrate love. Is that really how we celebrate love? Is that what love is really about?
As a society, I do not believe we can truly understand love unless we know and understand God’s love. God’s love for us is true love. He sought us and pursued us. Through His great love for us, He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us.
Wow, can you think of any person who would do that for you? I do not think you can. God loved us before we loved Him, while we were still sinners!
Everyone is looking for love. We look for love from parents, boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands and wives, but only God’s love will fill the longing inside our hearts. Only God is our all in all.
Allow the love of Christ to fill your hearts, so you, in turn, can love your families, friends and enemies with His love.
A man may be a good doctor without loving his patients; a good lawyer without loving his clients; a good geologist without loving science; but he
cannot be a good Christian without love.
-D.L. Moody-
