Valentine’s Day is here again and yet again we ask the question, “What is love?” For this special day love is defined as deep affection for someone, but often we struggle figuring out how to express it. To the cynic, this is just another way to get people to spend money. For the romantic, this is the perfect chance to spend money. This is designed to be a holiday to celebrate our love for those closest to us. The difficulty is that often love is forgotten or not practiced the rest of the year. Love is more than just chocolate and roses one day each year. Love, as Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians 13, is to be a constant trait in the life of the person who believes in Jesus Christ as Savior. True love is equipped by faith to live a life that is patient and kind by always believing that God is at work. True love is based on hope that God will work in such a way to make the relationship better in the future. The believer who obediently lives for God by always loving others, is following the example of Christ and His love for all mankind. What we really believe will affect the way we live.
