You are Loved

As Valentine's day quickly approaches, I am constantly reminded of how important it is to love and be loved. Even though I don't have that special someone to celebrate this holiday with, that does not mean that I am not loved. Love is complicated because it has so many different forms. Love is difficult to describe, because it can only be felt. However, God knows how to describe it. My favorite verse in the Bible, (and probably other people's favorite one, too), is 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. In fact, I have this verse hanging right above my desk so I can be constantly reminded of how much God loves me. 

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 

God teaches me to love, just as he loves me in return. He never fails me, just as love doesn't fail. When I do find the one for me, the special love I will give to them will be the kind of love God gives to me. 

So, Happy Valentine's Day! I hope it's special. Always remember you are loved.

Love, Sarah Allison
