Oh that today, Valentine’s Day, would be a celebration of love all across America.  Real, lasting, faithful, true, and holy love.
Oh that today love would be pledged to the Greatest Lover of Eternity – JESUS CHRIST, the Righteous.
If ever One deserved to be loved it is HIM.
If ever One was a true and faithful lover it is HIM.

And if ever we as mortals want to give and receive real, lasting, faithful, true, and holy love we will FIRST give our love to HIM so we will have love to give to them.

John 3:16 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
16″For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

There will be a lot of giving TO each other today (and that’s a good thing) but it’s the giving of one’s self FOR another that makes it LOVE.

I Corinthians 13: 3-7 The Message Bible
If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.
Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.
