Valentine's Day - the message of love




Mark 12:33 "And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

What a great blessing to know the Love of God. That we have so great a privilege to love the Creator of all things...the almighty and powerful God that has the world and the universe in His hands! That we can walk with Him!! And be His child!

But, how do we love one another. How do we love our neighbor as ourselves? -- We step back from sin. We become overcomers. We become a witness of Jesus, for those we love and for those in our lives--whether friend, neighbor, or all that we meet. We give up of ourselves--the little pleasures that would lead another down the road to sin. We give up tears from the injustices we are inflicted with so that another will know the love of God. We give up our treasures so that the greater good will be done.

Today, go forth and love your God, He is awesome and mighty, and may God's love be with you.
