Our Lover

On this special Valentine’s Day we consider not a name or title of God but one of His attributes – God is love. Much has been written about love whether it’s ancient Greeks, Shakespeare, the Beatles or Ne-Yo. The Bible has its own contribution to the subject of love. It declares that God does not simply possess the capacity to love but that He is love and that His love is of a very special quality. 

Love is a multi-functional word we use to describe our relationship with a parent, a pet, a celebrity, a hobby or even ice cream! Love is notoriously changeable and fickle – witness the number of broken relationships and modern songs expressing the pain of a broken heart.

God’s own special love is different. It is not a love that simply responds to another’s love because “he first loved us”. It is not a love that waited for us to be nice because “He shows and clearly proves his own love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom.5:8). You are loved with a love you do not deserve and can rely on it whatever you do. God is love!

Prayer: Thank You Lord for Your great and everlasting love for me
