When we think about Valentines day we think about 3 things: Love, Hearts, and Cards...
But let's focus on the first 2 things... Love and Heart...
What is this thing called "Love"? A thing that is a feeling? An emotion that comes and goes? What is true love in the first place? All good questions that the Bible has answers to.
You see, it isn't a feeling, it's not conditional, it's not an emotion that comes and goes. It's a passion, choice, motivation and it's unconditional. Also an all year round thing (not just on valentines day). Most importantly, God is love and brings true love to our hearts.
God has an unconditional, pure love, for us... For me, and for you.
Keep that in mind this valentines day :)
Did you know? Every year: over 180,000 valentines and
190,000 roses are handed out each year.
Verses to remember:
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
~ 1st Corinthians 13:4-7
“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’c; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’d”
~ Luke 10:27
