In a couple of days we will be celebrating “Valentine's Day!” and, yes, I also love this holiday.

I do send cards out to family and friends to let them know how much I love them.

There are four Greek words for love:

Phileo love > which refers to true friends. Peope who we are emotionall connected to and we

can share our deepest thoughts and feelings.

Eros love > The sense of being in love; Romantic love, sexual or passionate. Long

lasting bonds of strength between a husband and wife in marriage

Storge love > A deep family affection that comforts us and helps us feel connected to

our immediate genetic family as well as all our extended family.

But the greatest love is “Agape” love, which is GOD himself. It is the very nature of GOD,

for “God is Love!”

GOD IS LOVE, and he who lives in love, lives in GOD and

and GOD in him. 1 John 4:16

Agape love is not simply an impulse generated from feelings. Rather, it is an exercise of the will,

a deliberate choice. Agape love is related to obedience and commitment, and not necessarily

feeling and emotion.

GOD demonstrated His love for us …

For GOD so LOVED the world, that HE gave HIS only begotten

SON, that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish, but

have everlasting life. John 3:16

Christ died an excruciating death for you because of Love. Agape is GOD himself. Receive

HIS Love today.
