Valentine's day is Saturday. (Still time to buy that box of sweets, or at least a card)
Why mention this?
Because, even though the Bible does not specifically mention such a day, the thought of love transcends it from Genesis through Revelation. It's ALL about God's love of man.
Jesus said the greatest commandment is "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your mind. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as you love yourself."(Mt.22:37-38)
Surprisingly, at least to me, is that it was Peter, and not John, the disciple of love, who said, "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins.? 1 Pet. 4:8
Think about it; the first nationally recognized celebration following New Year's day is all about love.
That's good, because the Bible says "God is Love".
He so loved us He sent His Son to demonstrate it.
What plans for expressing love do you have ?
