As we enter February, you can’t help but notice the store shelves are bursting with chocolate candy heart boxes, cute teddy bears and everything red and pink. Bouquets of roses are sold on street corners, bakeries are filled with heart-sprinkled cupcakes and “I love you” balloons are everywhere. Yes, love is in the air. And quite honestly, we need to focus on more love right now. Love your neighbor. Love your coworkers. Love your customers. Love the unlovable.
Where to start? If you’re like me, the best place to start practicing love is in your own home and your own relationship. Almost all relationships have room for improvement. Simple acts of love and kindness can go a long way with your partner. We can read countless books and listen to endless sermons about how to love like God, but we need to put it into practice. May God pour out his blessings on your relationship and may love overflow in your home.
“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins,” – 1 Peter 4:8.
