Love
It’s what everybody’s talking about this time of year
Cards
Chocolates
Flowers
A thousand ways to say, “I love you
”
But what if love is more than a feeling
What if love… is more than a holiday
Jesus was once asked to name the greatest commandment
His answer
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength
”
To love God is to center your life on Him
To trust Him
To worship Him
To walk with Him
And to let every part of your life point back to Him
But then Jesus added something unexpected…
Love God AND Love your neighbor as yourself…
That means we forgive
That means we serve
That means we love the people God puts in front of us, whoever they are…
Not just the easy ones and not just the ones that love us back
Because God first loved us
So, this Valentine’s Day…
Let’s love God fully
Let’s love others freely
And let’s be known—not by what we say—but by how we love
