"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son." (John 3:16)
There are a few verses in the scriptures that always make me feel surrounded by divine love. This type of love is unrequited, undying, and pure. This love endures despite my sin, my error and my imperfection.
I hope that on this Valentine's Day, with all of the hearts and sparkles, all of the roses and chocolates, we can remember the ultimate Valentine. The gift of our Heavenly Father's Son.
Let us all remember as well the love the Christ has for us:
11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.
12 And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.
13 Now the Spirit knoweth all things; nevertheless the Son of God suffereth according to the flesh that he might take upon him the sins of his people, that he might blot out their transgressions according to the power of his deliverance; and now behold, this is the testimony which is in me.
I love my Savior and I know He loves me. I feel His love every day and I know that He is anxious to bless all of us with that love. We just need to let Him in.
Happy Valentine's Day!
