Valentine’s Day –
A day all about celebrating Love
Greeting card companies, florists, even candy companies spend much money on marketing for this one day
For everyone that is profiting off this holiday, it isn’t about love, it’s about greed.
Tina Turner famously sang “What’s Love Got To Do With It”
She said love was just a “second hand emotion”
Those who have been chosen of God
Put on a heart of…
All of these attributes seem so easy to say, but, in reality, in this lost world, they are seemingly hard to live
Compassion is not just feeling for someone, but feeling so strongly that you are moved to action
Compassion literally means to suffer together
We are God’s people, and we are so hard that compassion is a distant reality
Kindness
Humility
Gentleness
Patience
Bearing one another
Forgiving each other
Just as the Lord forgave YOU
Put on Love
In Corinthians 13 we find that love is basically all these things we just talked about
Galations 5:22-23 shows us all these things are the fruit of the Spirit
So as those who have been chosen of God, these things should be evident in our every day lives
In a world where selfishness, greed and hate seem to dominate; the world needs to see Love
Tina Turner was wrong! Love is not a second hand emotion. Love is the outpouring of the Spirit of God within us
Do you have that in you today?
