Valentine's Day


Thursday, February 14, 2013 (7:39 a.m.)
Blessed Father,
It seems the perfect day to talk about all the things love is, as well as all it is not (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). Yet at the same time “Perfect love casts out fear” (1John 4:18) comes to mind. As does John 15:13, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
Jesus, You did that for us. “Because of this... our faith and hope can rest in Him alone” (1Peter 1:21). And Your love rings through in the very next verse.
Now you can have real love for everyone because your souls have been cleansed from selfishness and hatred when you trusted Christ to save you; so see to it that you really do love each other warmly, with all your hearts” (v.22).
Ah, yes Lord. Make it so that we can learn to love as You would have us love. I still can't even begin to fathom it.
