Reflections:Love Is....

                    

Love is believing, trusting, helping, encouraging, confiding, sharing, understanding, feeling, touching, caring, praying, giving. Love is communication. Love is an emotion. Love is passionate, alive, vibrant, and warm. Love is something that gets better all the time!

Love is the greatest need of humanity, so love is the greatest service to mankind. Love is spiritual, but is manifested in the physical. Love is seen as it is put into action. Love is thoughtfulness. Love is always. Love knows no hours or days. Love is always finding a way. Love is giving all. Love is rare—the unselfish kind. Love is priceless. Love is its own reward.

Love is sacrificial. Love is preferring the happiness of others to our own. Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is merciful.

Love can overcome any obstacle, heal any wound. Love is quick to forgive. Love is humble.

Love is never lost.—It always has its effect sooner or later.

Love is forever.

Love is the name of God. Love is the power of God.

This is for all the loveless and lonely on Valentine’s Day-and we have all been there at some time. You know the feeling, and it is a drab one. While couples around you stroll hand in hand, you stand alone watching the clouds in the sky gather and turn gray, while a tear forms in your eye.

How you wish that on this celebrated day you could have someone to love and cherish-and to know that you also had a special place in his or her heart!

Look up again to those clouds. There’s a silver lining there. One warm ray of light from above can give the gloomy gray a tint of scintillating silver. Perhaps you are alone on this day so that the wonderful Giver of that warm light could be the One to be with you. Did you ever stop to think about it? Yes, even on this day, He needs a Valentine, too-someone to cherish and hold close to His heart. It may be that He has reserved you for Himself, to be His sweetheart, His love, His Valentine.

A relationship with God is guaranteed to be a blissful one. Why? Because He is the essence of love itself. And when you have a link to the very heart and source of that power, the most wonderful things can happen. No longer will you be alone and loveless. No longer will you look at others with a tinge of longing. For you will have discovered Someone who will be yours, not just on February 14th, but from now until forever.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
