Would it be redundant to say I love Valentines Day - basically saying - in effect - I love Love. In my mind never wrong to admit that loving Love is admirable - a goal that all should attempt to attain. Unfortunately there are many who have been hurt in the name of Love - taken advantage of - false love - love of things in place of persons. True Love will never hurt - lie - make one feel bad - sad. In Scripture it says in Corinthians 13:4-7, 13 "Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is Love." (NABRE)
When God made the decision to send His only begotten Son - His Love to live - walk - share life with humans - He who is Love - sent His Love to be with each of us. Even today - although we cannot see - we can - do - feel His Love. He is the author - creator of Love. That Love is there for each of us - every day - not just on Valentines. Open your heart to Him - let His Love fill you today and every day of your life.
