Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
1 John 4:8
As Christians, we should learn to live in love all year round and not just during Valentine’s Day. It is a day we are reminded of the ultimate sacrifice made by a priest so that people could express their love toward one another in holy matrimony.
Love is sacrifice. When you love something or someone it means you are always willing and ready to lay down your life for the salvation of that person. There are ways God shows his love towards all his children. He gives us life and all the essential things we need to live.
He loves us by forgiving our sins and drawing us close to him every day. He gives us gifts and opportunities to make our lives better. We must also show love to one another in all the ways that we can. We must learn to forgive, encourage, help, provide for and show mercy to those we claim to love.
And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
Colossians 3:14.
God loved us first so we must love one another too. When we were yet sinners and did not deserve his mercies and glory he forgave us and gave it to us anyway. Do not expect anything back when you give love because love is selfless. Love because your Lord loves you in abundance and continues to show you grace and favor.
When someone wrongs you in any way think about the number of times you sin against God and the number of times you expect him to love and forgive you. When you live in grace you also have to extend the same mercy toward others and that is what the Lord expects from his children.

Love is kind and gentle. Let love rule your life not just on Valentine’s day but every day. God is love, so if we claim to know and live for him that means we must love all people and not just our friends. Ask him to help you forgive those who have wronged you in life.
Live in harmony with everyone and when people try to meet you with anger and hate, pour your gentility and love on them. Don’t forget that water calms and quenches fire. As Christians, we must rule this world with love and help everyone live in peace and harmony. Let that be your mission on this valentine’s day.
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
