“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever!” -1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NLT

A Time to Think… 
“Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” -Maya Angelou  

A Time to Act…
On this Valentines Day, remind yourself that love is not from a sweetheart, dark chocolate or a kiss on the cheek…no, this day of love is from God’s love that then surges through our veins to love one another. It’s not about us – it’s about God’s love in us!

A Time to Pray… 
O Lord, open my heart to a greater sense of your love for me. A love that is tenacious, patient, and unconditional. Remove the barriers that I have erected in my spirit that block the free flow of your love in my life. Work through my doubt, do not be deceived by my pride, heal me of my guilt and shame that I can love myself and love others. AMEN.
