FEBRUARY 4, 2013 -- Mark 12:30-31a (GNB) Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second most important commandment is this:”Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”
God’s Valentine Gift
by Joanna Fuchs
God’s Valentine gift of love to us
Was not a bunch of flowers;
It wasn’t candy, or a book
To while away the hours.
His gift was to become a man,
So He could freely give
His sacrifical love for us,
So you and I could live.
He gave us sweet salvation, and
Instruction, good and true-
To love our friends and enemies
And love our Savior, too.
So as we give our Valentines,
Let’s thank our Lord and King;
The reason we have love to give
Is that He gave everything.
Let us continue daily to take the time to reflect on God’s faithful love for us so you can share his love with those around you. Genuine love and affection comes from knowing and experiencing God’s love through Jesus Christ.
1 John 4:19 (GNB) We love because God first loved us. |
