Valentine's Day

Won't you be my valentine? That's what God asks of all of us. Won't you allow me to love you? Won't you let me put my arms around you and help you with your pain and your hurt and your concerns?

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son." John 3:16.

For God.

Not just any God. The one and only God. My God. Your God. I have a personal relationship with God and that just blows me away.

For God so loved. His love for us is boundless. Infinite. Unconditional. Full of grace and mercy. Holy. Based on truth. Endless.

That He gave. God is a giver. God is generous. We are never more like God than when we give.

His one and only Son. Not just any son. His one and only Son. Everything He had. God gives to me. So that I might have a relationship with Him!

God's love is not static or self-centered; it reaches out and draws others in. It is the basis of love in all of our relationships. When you love someone dearly, you are wlling to give freely to the point of self-sacrifice. God paid dearly with the life of his Son, the highest price he could pay.

When we share our faith with others, our love must be like Jesus - willingly giving up our own comfort and security so that others might join us in receiving God's love.

God says today, "Be my valentine!"
