I love Valentine's day and people who don't, annoy me. They are usually the same people who gripe about Christmas music before December 1st and think all Halloween fun should be Harvest festivals. Boo! It's about Love people! LOOOVE!! I totally understand if you don't like it because you don't have a significant other. But for those who say it's a made up holiday by card companies, um who cares. It's about Love!! As Believers, love is something that should be on our minds. A whole holiday dedicated to the topic is the perfect excuse to do a little study on it or to go the extra mile with your loved ones. Here are just a few verses.
1 Corinthians 13:13
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Romans 12:9
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
Luke 6:35
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
Mark 12:31
The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’There is no commandment greater than these.”
1 Peter 4:8
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
The next time you wanna be a poop head about Valentine's Day don't think of it as candy, flowers and ways to spend money. Think about the actual topic of love. The people in your life need to feel love. They need to know that you love them and more importantly, that the Heavenly Father loves them.
