Valentines Day-The Day of Love!
Yes its the day that everyone puts in their diary....especially singletons like moi.
Ehh nah...I can safely erase that last sentence...but I won't coz its a good introduction!
So to distract myself from the hipe and jokes about valentines and indeed singletons, I decided to think about what love is....or rather who love is.
Love is God. Jesus. Holy Spirit.
"God loved us so much that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes him will not perish but have everlasting life." John 3v16 (*How famous is that verse?*)
If there was no God there would be no love.
If God had not sent his son, there would be no love.
God gave us the ability to love, care, show kindness, trust etc.
I think the best kind of love is agape: selfless love of one person. (especially love that is spiritual in nature.)
So today I am comforted by the fact that I believe with all my heart-God loves me. He shows me more love than any valentine, secret admirer, rose, card or chocolates ever could.
But when I think about it more...God has already given me my valentines gift...his son.
I leave you with the lyrics of U2's newest song- Window in the skies! I love it! You gotta really think about the lyrics.
Hope you had a great love day!O and happy birthday to my cousin Naomi!
Window in the skies:
The shackles are undone
The bullets quit the gun
The heat thats in the sun
Will keep us when there's none
The rule has been disproved
The stone has been moved
The grain is now a groove
All debts are removed,
ooh
Oh can't you see what our love has done
Oh can't you see what our love has done
Oh can't you see what our love has done
What it's doing to me
Love makes strange enemies
Makes love when love may please Soul in a strip tease
Hate brought to its knees
Sky over our head
Can reach it from our bed If you let me in your heart
And out of my head
Oh can't you see what our love has done
Oh can't you see what our love has done
Oh can't you see what our love has done
Oh can't you see what our love has done
What it's doing to me
Oh oh oh hhhhhhhhhhh
Oh oh oh hhhhhhhhhhh
Please don't ever let me out of here
I've got no shame
oh no oh no
Oh can't you see what love has done
Oh can't you see
Oh can't you see what love has done
What it's doing to me
Oh I know I hurt you and I made you cry
Did everything but murder but you and I
But love left a window in the skies
And to love I rhapsodize
Oh can't you see what love has done
to every broken heart
Oh can't you see what love has done for every heart that cries
Love left a window in the skies
And to love I rhapsodize
Oh can't you see
| Window in the skie... |
