A Valentine From Christ

I came across this compilation of quotes of Jesus from the bible that an unknown author put together. I found it on www.embracedbythelight.com. Valentine's Day is a day that was created to help celebrate love. Unfortunately mass marketing and commercialism has tried to find every way possible to make a profit from it as well. When was the last time you spent Valentine's Day appreciating the love and blessings you receive from others and feel that appreciation in return? Most of the time it feels more like a contest on who can give the best "stuff" instead of the opportunity to show gratitude for giving love and being loved.

Take a moment to read this valentine from Christ. Take note from the one who loves perfectly without exception or condition and think about how you really want to spend Valentine's Day with those that you truly love. Life really is too short to waste a moment of it in trying to impress or out do. The time we have with those we love is a precious commodity and we should use it wisely for we never know exactly when that time is up. How will you decide to share and show your love today?
