What does True Love mean to you?

Happy Valentine's Week Everyone!!

I thought since Valentine's Day is fast approaching that Love would be an appropriate topic of discussion. Here is a questions for you to ponder on.. What is True Love?

Your first thoughts might be those mushy feelings you have you start dating someone and just really hit off with them? Some might call it "Puppy Love", we have all been thru this at least once in our lives. Another example might be the feeling when you see your child for the first time after being born. WOW!! What a feeling! That is a moment that will forever be engraved in a person's heart, and you never know how you could love a little person so much. A child might consider getting a gift an outward showing of love to them. All these examples are so true and a form of Love.

The Love that I am wanting to talk about is the kind of Love that Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior has for us and showed us when He died on the cross for our sins. The first verse that comes to my mind when I think of Christ's love is that ever so famous one:

 John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 

God sent his only Son Jesus to be a sacrifice for ALL of our sins. You know all we have to do is accept him as our Lord and Savior? How simple is that. We just have to believe on him, and ask him to forgive us for our sins, and you know what? He will! He will save you, he will save, he will save you now! 

 

I know with Valentine's day we all like gifts, flowers, chocolates and things of that nature. Those are nice and all, and I am like all of you and enjoy these things as well don't get me wrong. But when I think of God and his Love and know that God is Love.  I think of this verse too.

 

1John 4:16 - And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

 

 

So the next time you think of the term Love, think of Christ who Loved you so much that he died for you and for me. Could you lay down your life for one person much less the whole world? Now that is what I call True Love.

 

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior, Please do so, this will be a decision in your life that you will never ever regret. You don't have to go to a Preacher, or anyone to do this, you just have to come to Jesus, and ask him to into your heart and repent of your sins. Its that simple.
