Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)

Happy Valentine’s Day!  Today is a day to celebrate love!  It’s not just about the love between man and woman.  It’s the love that God has poured out in abundance on His people.  It’s the love that we receive from each other.  The love we receive from our parents, siblings, friends, mentors, etc.  Today, we celebrate the love of more than just a spouse or special someone.  Today, we have the opportunity to celebrate the greatest love of all.  The love of God.  The love that gives us the ability to love one another.

“We love because he first loved us.” (1 John 4:19)
