This is a day set aside to show our love for others. But showing our love and appreciation for a person should not be a one-day-of-the-year type of thing. This should be something that we continually show every single day of the year. The Lord showed His love - the greatest love - to us "in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). He gives us grace, mercy and love each and every day. In becoming more and more like our precious Saviour, we should strive to do the same for others. Today, let us remember the ultimate love - the love of our Lord and Saviour. What a blessed joy it is to be a Christian!!!!!
I love this quote by Christopher Love: (I know that I've shared it before, but I pray that it encourages you as it always does for me.)
"Here is grace beyond compare, that Christ brings life to you who brought death to Him! That Christ gives glory to you who brought shame to Him! Christ gives a heaven to you who thought the earth too good for Him! Christ pleads to His Father for you who contradicted Him, (Hebrews 12:3) " He suffered the contradiction of sinners." Jesus Christ crowns you with a crown of glory to your honor who put a crown of thorns upon Christ's head to His disgrace. O magnify this grace that shows you kindness for your unkindness, love for your hatred, good turns for the ill turns you have done Him. You have great cause to magnify the greatness of this mercy. The patience of a man would have been worn out long ere this with the many and deadly provocations which you have offered to Jesus Christ. Had not His patience been infinite, it would have worn out before this day. O magnify Christ, that He should be the author of eternal life for such unworthy creatures as we are!"
He loves us that much - to put up with our sinning against Him and to send His one and only beloved Son for us. That is love beyond compare! Have a beautiful day resting in the knowledge the He loves His children.
To God be the Glory,

Ephesians 3:17-19
"...that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."
Romans 8:37-39
"...that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."
Romans 8:37-39
"Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
2 Corinthians 13:14
"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen."
