BY ORDER OF LOVE

Have you noticed that every time you enter a store these days, cute little teddy bears and conversation hearts bombard you? Well, to be candid, I think it is disheartening how this world has slandered the name of Love, not to mention its author.

There’s no word in the human language that is more misrepresented and misused. “God is loved that He gave,” does that sound like the version of Love that the world so casually passes around to suit whatever fancy or whim pleases it? Read 1 Corinthians 13v4-8 and ask yourself, “Is this how my love is presented to the world? Do they look at me and see God’s love or the nicely wrapped serpent kind of love that selfishly seeks only what it can get out of the other person.
So many write-ups, opinions and line upon line perception on Valentine’s Day is not far ro reach anymore. That is for another day. But I recommend you read Dipo Tipede article on Valentine’s Day from his website, www.dipotipede.com.

“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world know us not, because it knew Him not” I John 3v1
