Ah, love. This month is when we celebrate Valentine’s Day and enjoy all of the little niceties that come with it: a heart-shaped box of candy … a romantic candlelit dinner … sweet cards … flowers and … what’s missing? The recognition that honoring the greatest love of our lives just isn’t possible by visiting fancy restaurants or stationery stores. (Nor through chocolate, although chocolate comes heavenly close!) God never gets a valentine, but still He loves us with a passion and sincerity greater than any other. He asks little of us; mainly that we follow the examples set by His Son, Jesus, and establish God as a priority in our lives. And because God loves us, it is our responsibility to love others.
