Share The Love

in , by Beautifies The Meek, 8:04 PM


Valentine's day is just around the corner and for some of us it is a day we dread or it is a day of excitement! For me it is just another day where people do things to let someone know that they are appreciated and loved. Everyday should be Valentine's day honestly. We should always find ways to share the love of Christ in our everyday lives. There are so many things we can do to share that love even if we don't have anyone "special" at the moment. We can send a thoughtful text, make a valentine's card, bake something and hand them out, write a heartfelt letter, send flowers, etc. Anything you are able to do just do it! Life is incredibly short and we never know how much time we have in this life so make the most of every moment and every day. God's love covers a multitude of sins and it's the most potent kind of love there is. Even the people we may not like at the moment are intensely loved by God. Loving God is easy but loving people is where the challenge comes in. People are flawed, they can be super inconsiderate, ungrateful, rude, mean, evil, and the list goes on. But we have the capacity to be those things too and God looks past those flaws and loves us anyway. I have come to the realization that God's love was never meant for me to understand but to receive. The only way we can love the lost or even love our enemies is through God's love for us. Understanding that a perfect God can love a flawed human like me humbles me enough to love through the hurt. Loving people has nothing to do with liking people. I heard a definition of love that transformed the way I love people. Tony Evans eloquently stated that biblical love is the decision to compassionately and righteously seek the well being of others. We have attached love to emotion and that is not entirely the case. We will not always feel like loving the difficult people in our lives. Loving difficult people can be draining especially when they are ungrateful but it is necessary. It is required. Choose everyday to love; to compassionately and righteously seek the well being of others.

Happy Valentine's Day!
