no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

As we celebrate Valentine's Day, we are drawn to the subject of love.   It doesn't matter how elegantly we can speak or write.  It doesn't matter how well and adequately we know the Bible.  It doesn't matter how much power we have or how charitable we are, or if we are willing to die for what we believe.  Not of that matters without love.

 I know that in my life, I need people who will see me for who I really am and still want to be there for me.  Also, I want to be that kind of friend to you.  I believe where there is true love, people will have the courage to reveal what is really going on in their hearts, and others will respond with compassion for that individual because of that.

My wish for us on this holiday is that we may all experience true love, and through that love,  we will see God.  After all, how can we expect others to accept a loving God, if they do not experience God's love through us?  How can we show God's love, unless God's love is so flowing through us so that it overflows  from us into others?

Happy Valentine's Day.
