For here is the way God loved the world—he gave his only, unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in him will never perish but experience everlasting life. John 3:16 TPT

This is how we have discovered love’s reality: Jesus sacrificed his life for us. Because of this great love, we should be willing to lay down our lives for one another. 1 John 3:16 TPT

Valentine’s Day is a special day for me. Walt and I were married 47 years ago today. There are several couples that I know personally who made this day their own special day and congratulations to you all! Marriage isn’t all fun and games, it’s hard work on it’s best day, but well worth it in the long run.

But let us remember, God’s gift to all of us was His love in the form of Jesus. For that reason alone, we should be grateful each and everyday that the greatest example in history was His great expression of love for all of us, His children. He loved us so that we in turn can love others. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

None of us deserved it, but He freely gave it to each of us and it’s ours to choose. A gift that’s never forced on us, but offered none-the-less. I hope you open your arms to receive this great sacrificial gift of love.

Happy ‘Love’ Day!
