As we draw upon Valentine’s Day, let us remember how precious and perfect the love of our Savior is. And while our earthly relationships may fall short, He never will. And may we love others more and more like He loves us.
Verses:
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.” - John 15:9
“My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.” - John 15:12
Pray and meditate on this:
His love- lavished on us.
Unconditional and unlimited.
Never weighted by worth.
Remain in his love that remains.
And love because he loved you first.
His love cannot be earned.
There is nothing expected or required in return.
He makes no demands. There’s no reason to strive.
He invites you to come and simply abide.
His love compels you to love like he loves-
to choose love, to show love, to BE love.
His love grows your love.
Rest. Remain. Just be.
You are his beloved.
Be LOVED.
And BE love.

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your perfect love for us.
Though it is hard for us to comprehend your perfect, holy love,
remind us that when we love you first and remain in your love,
we are able to more rightly love others.
By your Spirit, equip us and guide us to lead with love in all we say and do.
Amen
