A child of God….Valentines!
Valentines Day is Tuesday the 14th of February. In 2010, over 15 million e-valentines cards were sent. Whilst the background history of St Valentine is open to interpretation and there being a number of people associated with it, it seems the world loves being in love and being loved!
On Sunday night Pastor Israel taught from the “Sermon on the Mount” in Matthew’s gospel. The emphasis being on loving our enemies, blessing those that curse us and praying for those who would despitefully use us. (Matthew 5:43-45). Jesus placed enormous emphasis on what sort of lifestyle depicted or best revealed who was indeed a child of God. Love is the common denominator. In fact it is the ONLY real evidence!
The Apostle Paul hammered home this point in his letter to the Church at Corinth where he said that without love anything we did or said was fake and worthless! (1 Cor 13:1-3)
Let us not wait for just one day a year to express the love of God that He has given to us that we can beautifully and lovingly share with others. Make a phone call, write an e-mail and give to a loved one the most beautiful gift you can! Don’t miss the opportunity to say these words today, especially to those closest to you, for who knows what tomorrow may bring. Today, ring, write, call in and take time to be a child of God! Be a child of God and touch a soul with heaven!
