“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”
John 3:16
So Wednesday was Valentine’s Day, and as such I thought I’d do a post in honour of it. Only, I don’t know much about the day itself, nor why it was commemorated as a national holiday. While it may have its origins in a secular tradition, I do know that now is as good a time as any to celebrate and remember the love that God bears for us.
The Bible claims multiple times that “God is love.” This does not refer to physical love, but rather to the fact that everything He does is out of love. Despite the fact that we sinned against Him, despite our constant rebellion and disobedience, despite everything, He loves us still.
Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
1 John 4:7-8.
In light of this, I hope you all had a marvellous week, and never forget that you are not alone. We should rejoice! For though we have lived through dragonfire, and will undoubtedly encounter it again, God will never abandon us. Happy Valentine’s Day!
