We Love Because He Loved First

This holiday means more to me than just decorating with hearts,

or having a special someone to buy you presents,

bring you roses and take you out to a fancy dinner

 (Though the hopeless romantic in me does look forward to that someday !)

To me, Valentines Day represents Pure, Sweet, Overwhelming, Passionate LOVE

All kinds of love that fills our life

Love for family

Love for friends

Love for your significant other

But those love stem from the most important love of all

The all consuming

deeply passionate

never ending

forever forgiving

and always flowing love from our Lord and Savior

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, 
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16 
 

God sent His only son to die FOR ALL OF US

And because of what Jesus did on the cross, because He gave the ultimate sacrifice 

He has showed us the truest, most passionate, sweet, pure, overwhelming love of them all

Now that is something to celebrate
(and to hang red hearts everywhere!)

"We love because He first loved us."

1 John 4:19
