1 John 3:1-3 (NIV)__________________________________________________________
1 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.
Today is Valentine's Day, a day when the media blasts information on how couples should show the best kind of love to each other; advertising on top gifts, the exquisite dinners, and making the most romantic night that is meant to sweep your partner off their feet.
Being single at the moment, obviously these advertisements do not attract me a single bit.
However, that does not mean that we should stop short on expressing love to the close people around us. And if I meant to include our parents, siblings and even close friends, how much more important it is that we express our love to our heavenly Father?
He who hold us as the apple of His eye, He who hold us together when we feel shattered, He who gives us strength when we are drained, He who gives us grace when we fall short of His glory, He who loves us ceaselessly no matter how we act, He who awaits with open arms for our return, He who gave His only Son to die so we may be saved.
It is He, who deserves our very best and utmost love.
