"This is My
commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. "Greater
love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. "You are My friends if you do what I
command you.” John 15:12-14
Being married with children has taught me to love in selfless, intense, and protective ways that I never knew I was even capable of. Each day that I spend with my wife and our
two sons makes me understand and appreciate more the loving relationship my
parents have always given me.
Sadly, there are many people who do not feel the same way
about their respective families and seek the same kind of intense love and care
in their relationships. Far too
many people sadly do not realize that God loves them far deeper and greater than the most
loving and caring human parent possibly can.
The evidence lies in what God did for us by his mercy and grace-sending
his only Son to die on the cross for us, while we were/are certainly not
deserving of it.
Today is Valentine’s day and if even if you are feeling down with
the blues today, just ponder for a moment how incredible it is that the Creator
of all of the universe loves you and me in such an unimaginable and amazing
way!
It’s through our gratitude and praise of God’s grace and
love that love flows through us and into all our other relationships...
