St. Valentines Day.
The romantics in us will perhaps mark this day with the card, roses, box of something nice and the meal? Some will do it as an appreciation of the wife/husband other to get that partner into bed for a randy night of passion?
But this is not what St. Valentine is all about, but rather expressing Christian love to those who are without, the poor, the immigrant, the refuges, the homeless and so the list can go on and on? What is involved is putting yourself out for others, a meal, a blanket, clean clothing, a chat, showing interest and concern for what they have are and possibly might go through!
It about showing the love of Jesus, if what we claim is real in that we know the Lord Jesus as our saviour? We have to show His compassion, because any of us could fall and end up on the streets, be homeless or addicted to something?
Matthew 9:36, 15:32, Ephesians 2:4, 1 John 4:10-11, 19.

A bed of Roses?
Stephen and being a Believer!
The traditional image of the Christian Church is of it being easy, like a bed of roses?
But to be a born-again believer is only for the tough and its great to know that God chooses us for His service!
Weak things are strength, while those who appear to be strong are really the weaklings!
Stephen was a man who spoke the truth to a libertine world of his day and they could not cope with him so they did the same as with Jesus a year earlier.
So they set him up and had him stoned to death, but he was tougher because he forgave them and asked God that this not be held against them!
Acts 7:51-60, 2 Corinthians 12:10, Hebrews 4:12.

After St. Valentines Day.
Today and Forward.
Now that it is all over, the cards, chocolates, roses and flowers?
How are we feeling, are we back to our over reacting, swearing selves again?
If we loved before yesterday, then we will continue to be loving today and every other day.
God's Love is Eternal, If we believe that God gave us His One and Only Son, we will be following in faith and putting into Practise His Love, Jesus Love.
Leviticus 19:18, Psalm 133:1, Matthew 5:11-12, I John 5:1-2.

Valentines. Part-One.
Love, Romance.
This is the times of the year to post you car to someone that you really like or Love and hope that they send you one too. For others it's the special date, the candle lit dinner or just a box of chocolates and a bunch of red roses.
Many things are occurring in the one day event marked on the 14th February every year, appreciation, love, kindness, and passion.
But many people forget it all on the 15th, they have had their fun or disappointment!
God has a love for us too, He showed us this Love through His Son Jesus. The great thing about this Love is that it is unconditional.
God only asks us to have a mental change of attitudes and believe and live in the works of Jesus.
John 3:16, Ephesians 4:31-32, 5:1-2, 1 John 3:16-17, 4:11.
