February 14, 2010 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35 NKJV) Today of course is Valentine’s Day and many expressions of love will be shown this day. Valentine’s Day is normally associated with romantic love. But today I want to extend it to love between all people, not in a romantic way but in a godly way. The Bible clearly teaches us that God is love He acts toward us out of His love. That being the case we would do well to act toward each other out of love for others. As a matter of fact, the Bible teaches us that if we do not love, we really don’t know God (I John 4:7-8). A man named Dennis Waitely, in his work – Seeds of Greatness explained love in the following way: L – listening when another is speaking. O – overlooking petty faults and forgiving all failures. V – valuing other people for who they are. E – expressing love in a practical way. Have a blessed Valentine’s Day and remember we are to love everyday of the year.
