valentine

Call me crazy, but Valentine’s Day has always struck me as a strange holiday.I think it’s a slightly ostracizing time for people who aren’t really experiencing romantic love. I’m not really a big fan of giant teddy bears, sparkly hearts or even the general idea of the color pink. And don’t even get me started on how the price of chocolate at the beginning of February seems to skyrocket.

But it’s a bit more than that. If we’re supposedly celebrating love, then I think we’re doing it the wrong way. There’s a higher form of love that’s missing from the conversation & we’re missing the whole point.

“In this is love, not that we have loved God but that He loved us and sent His son to be the propitiation of our sins.” 1 John 4:10

That’s it.

God is love. He isn’t limited to February 14^th, to be honest He’s really just not limited. There’s only one love that will never change, never forsake you or turn it’s back on you. There’s a love out there for everyone, one that’s made earth shattering sacrifices and longs to know you personally.

So please, if you don’t already, pursue that love. It makes every single day of the year worth celebrating.
