By now, the nostalgia of Christmas is long gone, the bills have arrived for all the gifts we bought and to top it all off, we are now entering the month of the sometimes-dreaded Valentine’s Day. Some people love Valentine’s Day – it may involve loving cards, flowers and a romantic dinner. Other people just want the holiday to be over. It’s another reminder that they are not in a relationship, or a reminder of the relationship that ended, or even worse – a reminder that they are in relationship where they are not happy.
As Christians, we know that the greatest love ever known is God’s abundant love for us. Love can be found in many treasured relationships such as our children, our parents, our siblings, a special friend, teacher, and our pets; or even in the kindness of a stranger. On Valentine’s Day – and every day – whether your life is chocolates and flowers or loneliness and pain, determine to fill your heart with hope, peace, and most important – love.
