Today is Feb.14th, Valentines Day. An appropriated day of love or so we have been told for generations. If you don’t show love to those you hold dear all the days you are here on this earth, then why make a big deal out of it for one special day? Almost every book of the bible speaks of love. Lord, your word even says to love your enemy and by doing so you will heap coals of fire on his head! Now it is easy to love those who are good to you but not so easy to love the unlovable. We should also love our neighbor. We are so wrapped up in our own little world, we ignore our neighbors. But most of all we should love the Lord our God with all our heart. This is not just loving Him but obeying Him. What about Jesus? While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Who can grasp that? I would say this word, love, is essential to following Christ. Do we ever stop and think about all the people who never get a hug or have a kind word spoken to them? We need to open our eyes to the lost and hurting around us. It may just make a huge difference in all our lives and others eternities!
1 Cor.13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
