Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4:11
Slow as I am, even I have noticed the resurgence of the word beloved on social media. And it's about time too! Jesus only commanded us to love one another about 2,000 years ago. Love is a great subject for that day of love, Valentine's Day, or Saint Valentine's Day if you are among those who honor persons with that title. And love had better be the subject as there is some doubt over which Valentine was the man who lived just some of the many stories associated with that name. Therefore, love it is, and our first love in this new life would be the love for our Lord Jesus that He begins to grow in us from that first moment we believed in Him. Then, we begin our journey into that second love - one another.
And so, to my beloved, Have a great and happy Valentine's Day!
