In February we see advertisements on TV, in stores and everywhere featuring hearts and flowers and talk about love and Valentines. It is a great time for the card companies, florists and candy companies. Restaurants will have overflow crowds on February 14th. Many people confuse romance with true love. True love is caring for someone so much that you would be willing to give your life for that person. That is the love that Jesus had for us when He died on the cross to save us.
John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.


Psalms 70:4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
“Christianity is a love relationship between a child of God and his Maker through the Son Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.” Adrian Rogers
Do you have a love relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ?
Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

While many of us are preparing for a joyous Christmas Season, there are also many around us who are really hurting. For some it may be Christmas without someone they love who has died, for others it may be illness of a spouse or child that may end in death and then there are those people who are ill themselves or are lonely because they have no family or close friends. We need to look around and have compassion on those hurting people. A phone call, text message, card, visit or invitation to share your festivities may be just the thing that will help them get through the holiday season. And always keep them in your prayers. As Christians we need to love one another as Jesus commanded.
John 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Billy Graham was 97 years old on 9/7. He has had more influence for the gospel in the USA and around the world than any other preacher in our lifetime.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Sometimes in life when we think there is only sorrow or trials, we think God has forsaken us. Then He gives us a blessing to show us that He cares and loves us. When going through the darkest trial look for the blessing. It may be something very small, like a phone call or text message from family or friend. It may be something big like a rainbow after the storm, but God is there and we need to lean on Him for peace and comfort.
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
