Tomorrow is as we all know Valentine's day! This day can bring up quite the array of emotions in many different people. It has even lead people to make life changing decisions for the worse. I question why that is? The answer I have come up with is people just feeling unbelievably lonely! It is hard to see all of these couples with a partner going so far out of their way to spend so much money to show their love on a day like that. For all of you that plan on moping all day tomorrow and or consuming an entire tub of ice cream I have a simple question. Which is more valuable, $100 or a life?
The answer should obviously be a life. Tomorrow when you see all of these couples having such a great time keep one thing in mind. Your heavenly Father loves you so much he spent the ultimate price to be able to spend the rest of eternity with you! He sent His one and only Son to die on the cross for each and every one of us. That is the ultimate gift of love.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16
Who is the creator of LOVE? Our heavenly Father! He is the ultimate example of how to love. We have taken love and turned it into something completely different than our Lord created it to be.
Love was created to be a very beautiful thing!
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
1 Corinthians 13:4-13
Tomorrow instead of worrying about what you think your life is missing, or moping around about being "alone", remember that you have a pretty awesome Savior that loves you more than you could ever wrap your head around! He loves us unconditionally and longs for us to love Him back!
