What Kind of Love

"See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are." I John 3:1

This morning as I was getting ready for the day, I was listening to a song called "No Not One" and the lyrics just captured my heart as I realized how perfect they were in preparing my heart for Valentine's Day - "There has never been a greater love, than your Son, no not one." Whether single and longing for marriage, or married or even widowed - this holds true for all of us. The love of our Savior far surpasses all earthy loves. So while my heart ardently longs for a love to call my own in this life, I am also so aware of the amazing love I've already been given. The love of my faithful Savior, which far surpasses all others. The love of my dear family. The love of my treasured friends. I am rich indeed!!

So on this Valentine's Day, my prayer is that my heart would be full to overflowing with a fresh awareness of the love of God. What kind of love!

P.S. Pictured above are the beautiful roses my brother and sis-in-law sent me! What an amazing surprise! I am certainly spoiled by my family!
