Valentines
Day is here again. People approach
Valentines Day in different ways. Some simply
see Valentines Day as another day with no special meaning for them. Of course, there are others who approach
Valentines Day with anticipation and excitement because they are in
relationships with people they love and/or love them as they are lavished with
candy, cards, flowers, and the like.
Finally, they are people who are sad when Valentines Day rolls around
for all sorts of reasons: they are
facing their first Valentines Day with their heart feeling the pain of a
marriage has ended or a relationship has severed… their spouse or significant
other has died or is in the hospital.
This
year, I encourage you or challenge you to do something different this year
whatever Valentines Day means for you and it is this: tell someone or even better show someone that
God loves them. You don’t have to spend an enormous amount that
you cannot afford on candy or flowers.
When you get right down to it,
human love is fleeting. Those of you who have suffered the loss of
someone you love know that simply because your loved one is not living on this
earth anymore. Those of you that have faced a breakup in a
relationship know that human love is fleeting because you do not know the love
of that person anymore. However, the love
of God is different because “God is love”.
Tell someone or show someone that God loves them this Valentines Day. Isn’t that what followers of Christ are
supposed to do all the time. Have a
joy-filled week.- Pastor Randy Wall
Prayer: O God, we
give you thanks for your unconditional and eternal love. As you have loved us, let us tell others and show others your love;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
