Valentines Day: What is Love?


Today many Americans celebrate Valentine's Day, commemorating love. Love means a variety of things to so many of us. It awakens me each day, it's my fuel. It's because of it that I exist. God is love eternal.
I read a short summation of love and I thought it beautiful and profound. I wanted to share it with you today.

"A healthy definition of love is crucial to understanding the central message of the Bible. According to the Bible, love is not confined to sexuality, nor is it primarily a feeling at all. The Bible teaches that love is a commitment. As a commitment, love is not dependent on good feelings, but rather on a consistent and courageous decision to extend oneself for the well-being of another. That commitment then produces good feelings, not the other way around. Jesus became the perfect demonstration of God's unconditional love for us by laying down his life for our benefit."
(Adapted from Touchpoint Bible)



Give love , be love and receive love today and everyday. It begins within.

God's love and peace to you all,
