Happy Valentine's Day!❤️
Happy Valentine's Day! I love today.😊❤️ It is such a wonderful time to celebrate love and share it with others! The world focuses mainly on romantic love on this day, but God's agape - selfless, sacrificial, unconditional - love is so much greater...it was so great that He sent His Son to die in agony on a rugged cross to pay for our sins.
"In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins."
- 1 John 4:10
"What manner of love the Father has bestowed on us that we should be called children of God!"
- 1 John 3:1
God calls us to love Him above all else, and love others as He has loved us.
"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another."
- 1 John 4:7,11
"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends."
- John 15:13
I made a Valentine's playlist of a few songs and have enjoyed listening to it this week. I was going to choose one or two favorites to share with the post but that isn't going to work because they are all my favorites.😄 So, I'm going to share just a verse or a chorus of several different ones.
"Oh, the thought that Jesus loves me, more than I can understand
Fills my heart with calm assurance, I am safe inside His plan
Oh, the thought that Jesus loves me, that He'd choose a cross to die
Take the death I was deserving, just to offer me new life."
Love is a verb, it ain't a thing
It's not something you own, it's not something you scream
When you show me love, I don't need your words
Yeah, love ain't a thing, love is a verb
So you gotta show, show, show it, that love is a verb."
"Driving down a county road, feeling kinda empty
In someone's front yard something caught my eye
Just a homemade painted sign that hung a little crooked
Three words in bright red against the white
For another couple miles I just shook my head and smiled
Jesus loves you, Jesus loves you, someone unashamed living out their faith
Jesus loves you, He really really loves you
May I never underestimate the ways that God may say, Jesus loves you."
"The love of God is greater far than gold or silver ever could afford
It reaches past the highest star and covers all the world
Its power is eternal, its glory is supernal
When all this earth shall pass away, there will always be the love of God!"
(The Love of God, hymn)
"Could we with ink the ocean fill or were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole though stretched from sky to sky.
Oh, love of God how rich and pure, how measureless and strong
It shall forever more endure, the saints and angels song."
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth nor any other created thing shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Romans 8:35, 37-38
