L.O.V.E

LOVE. A four letter word meaning anything from complicated to unfailing. Our society has wrapped our lives around tomorrow, February 14th, as the day that we show our love for one another. Well, I'm not trying to take away from the holiday that so many people enjoy, but what is Valentines Day really, other than a way to make up for not showing love or an excuse to eat your weight in chocolate truffles? The truth is, we shouldn't rely on this one day every year to show people how much we love them. God doesn't do that. He shows us everyday. Love can not be bought from a flower shop, Hallmark, or even a fancy restaurant. Why? Because love is not a physical object. Love is felt. I would try to describe it, but it would only be my interpretation of it. And I am sure of the fact that every single person on the face of the earth feels it in their own way. Let me tell you something a little bit amazing about love...So, personally, I love my family, friends, running, coffee, ice cream, etc. Some of you reading this may not love some of those things. You might love baseball instead of running, popcorn instead of ice cream, or tea instead of coffee. Some things in our lives may indeed be different, we don't have to love all things the same. Even though we don't have to love all things the same, there is one man who has the type of unconditional love that is the same for every man and woman...that man is God. Isn't that amazing. His love spreads evenly over every single one of us. The same. And the best part? He doesn't need some specified day to show it. He doesn't have to bring a box of chocolates to our doorstep, or buy us a dozen red roses to say I love you. He saves us instead. Saves us from being drowned. Saves us from losing sight of life. I'd call that love...wouldn't you?

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

I mean, come on...that, my friends, is better than any box of chocolates. And if you know me and my overpowering sweet tooth...that is saying a heck of a whole lot.
