“How wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.”
Ephesians 3:18
Aloha Girls!
It’s that time of the month when love is in the air. This is the month when thoughts turn to love around Valentine’s day. A day to spread heartfelt messages of love.
“I love you to the moon and back!” Have you ever said those words to someone you love? Or maybe you’ve heard someone else say them. Your heart is trying to put into words the depth and intensity of your love. After all, the moon is over 238,000 miles away from the earth! That’s expressing a lot of heart-felt love!
Not sure how this tradition started. Symbols of love inscribed on the most beautifully decorated cards that come in all shapes and sizes. The cards can be handmade or store bought - the intent is the same. They are wonderful expressions of love and affection with cards, chocolates, roses, balloons, jewelry, candle-lite-dinners, to name a few.
YET, none of these ways can even come close to the most beautiful, the greatest expression of love that has been recorded in history for everyone! It’s found in the Gospel of John at Calvary; “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life,” John 3:16. It’s a good time to remember that Jesus loves you. He wants to be your Valentine. He loves you so much He left His home in heaven, in order to come to Earth for you. When you see the hearts and symbols of love this month, can I encourage you to remember the greatest love ever - Jesus Calvary love. God’s love is infinite and you can times His love by forever + forever! You can never come to the end of His love for you. May you enjoy the boundless measure of God’s perfect love for you.
Blessings, Karen
