The Greatest

What does "Love" mean? It is definitely a word that is better felt than described, better lived than explained, better shared than discussed. But, it is also a word that is really hard to give a true definition. It is sort of like when I try to explain to my kids that I love them in a way that they will NEVER understand (until they have kids), but I love their Mom, my wife, with a love like no other.

Love is an emotion, yeah, but, it is one that is harder to explain than anger or sadness. It is something that reaches our deepest being, into our very soul. GOD'S word tells us that there is no greater love than to give your life for a friend. And, that GOD loves us so much that He gave His Son as a sacrifice for us! That's LOVE.

Obviously, it is Valentine's Day, a day devoted to expressing our love to others. Now, I will tell you that I try to show Trish love every day, not just on Valentine's Day. I want her to know how much she means to me, how she completes me, how much I LOVE HER every, single day. Same goes for our kids, my family, my friends, everyone.

So, on this Valentine's Day, let others know that you love them and appreciate them. Then, why save it for just one day each year? Try to let those that you love know how special they are, not because they have done anything particularly special but because they are just special.

And, with that, I will end with today's word, which is often used, especially on Valentine's Day, but is always true and relevant. 1 Corinthians 13:13, NLT, reads, "Three things will last forever--faith, hope, and love--and the greatest of these is love."

Be Blessed,
