Today, obviously, is a day when our country focuses on love. How?
candy hearts
chocolate
flowers
romantic greeting cards
naughty nightwear
dinner out
teddy bears
How did God show love?
His very Word spoken.
The Word come to live among us.
Sacrifice.
His death for our life.
Christ in me.
We can pursue, purchase, and present our love . . . or at least try. Yet true love gives, changes, and transforms from the inside out.
“The contrast between God’s way of doing things and our way is never more acute than in this area of human change and transformation,” says Richard Foster. We focus on specific actions; God focuses on us. We work from the out outside in; God works from the inside out. We try; God transforms.”
Do you desire to be transformed by love today? Begin by opening your Bible to the book of John. It is there you will see Love sent down to live among us. He has changed my heart into something more beautiful than anything I could have ever dreamed.
In fact, if I could imprint one of those candy hearts to relate the message left on on mine, it would say one thing:
Forever His.
