Valentines Day

When we see a heart, we think of love. Actually, we should think of love when we see a cross.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.

Now, that's love. I would give my own life for my children or my husband. I'm not sure I would give my own life for anyone else. And I'm quite certain I would not give the life of one of my children for anyone at all, especially for an enemy. But that's what God did. He loved us so much He put His son on a cross to take the punishment for all sin. Yes, the cross, as disgusting and deplorable as it was, became the greatest symbol of love.

Happy Valentines Day to all who read this. May you know the love of the One who held back nothing to show His love for you.
