A Season of Love

It's that time of year again when we celebrate love. Valentine's Day is just behind us, but the heartfelt sentiment expressed for our loved ones goes beyond a specified day or hours.                

Your presence, the traces of "you" are found in many places, but do you ever wonder about the unseen marks you leave in your world?  

If someone were to look for evidence of where you've been (let's exclude GPS in this example), you would easily be tracked by your fingerprints. And, speaking of fingerprints, isn't it amazing that there is no one else on earth with fingerprints just like yours?     

You and I leave fingerprints everywhere. But what if we left "Heart prints" every time we expressed love, care, sympathy, or concern for others? What a visual expression that would be, extending throughout the world! Hopefully, our Heart prints would be even more numerous than our fingerprints. With the earth "stamped with love," might it look like one giant Valentine? 

The God of Creation long ago set His "Heart print" on you, fashioning you with utmost detail, and creating you with His everlasting, indescribable love.   

Now, that's something to celebrate, not only on Valentine's Day, but every day. Love shouldn't have an expiration date!         

Wherever you go and whatever you do, know that you are loved more than you will ever know.

"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you." - John 15:12

"Do everything in love." - Corinthians 16:14

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." -
1 Corinthians 13:4-5
