Many people celebrate Valentine's Day as a day for showing appreciation and love for family, friends and significant others. Whether or not it's a big occasion on your agenda, no one can argue that true love is a wonderful thing - not often easy, but always wonderful!
In the contemporary culture of mixed messages, where whimsical emotion or lust is often mistaken for love, and where relationships are rife with superficiality, flattery, insincerity, or built on the shaky foundation of individual brokenness and misplaced neediness, it is important for Christians to be intimately acquainted with the true God-kind of love. Several months ago I did a series on Loving with God's Love by taking a look at God's definition of love in 1 Corinthians 13. I hope that you will be inspired to read this chapter of Scripture again, and I invite you to peruse the series by using the links below!
1st - Love is patient
2nd - Love is kind
3rd - Love does not envy
4th - Love does not boast; it is not arrogant or rude
5th - Love does not insist on its own way
6th - Love is not irritable
7th - Love is not resentful
8th - Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth
9th - Love bears, believes, hopes, and endures, all things
Happy Valentine's Day!
Love God!
Love somebody with God's love!
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.
1 John 4:7
1 Corinthians 13 is a great one to engrave in our hearts!
