So I felt like the spoiled girl who everybody hates because she gets everything she wants on Valentine's Day. A very sweet guy surprised me on Valentine's Day with a teddy bear and chocolates.
...my dad. :)
I was talking with some of my friends about how Valentine's Day went; most of them said something like they got a text message like "Happy Valentimes Day," "The Pizza is Dying," and "Happy Worst Day of the Year"--basically Valentine's Day was just any other day. Nobody had a big Valentine's banquet or went on a romantic date.
Probably most of us had a Valentine's Day just like that--probably most everyone in the world. There are a lot of people out in the world that don't have love--not just a boyfriend or girlfriend or spouse, but some people don't have families period. Some people don't have friends, or at least true friends. Maybe one of us felt unloved on Valentine's Day.
But I wouldn't think so, if each of us are Christians.
Despite what our situation may be--we may not have the love of our family, our friends, our "special someone"--but we have something better: the perfect love of God that will never fail us. Even if not one person on earth loved us, we are loved by God, and that love should be enough for us. And because God loves us, it is our job to show His love to those that do not have love.
So this leaves us with some big questions: True love is more than just giving gifts or just saying "I love you." What is true love? How do we truly love other people?

If we love God first, if we listen to what He says, he'll give us a love for others. It's about loving God first and putting Him first.
I don't know that makes any sense at all. Man I wish I could remember the verse! Any one got any verses on this?
By the way, Whenever I think of a song or a christian artist I post it. So look for new songs at the bottem of the playlist. ^_^
If you don't like a song let me know.
Actually, the verse/one of the answers is in the passage we read on Valentine's Day: 1 Corinthians 13. I agree with you too, Justin. Loving God will cause us to love others as well, and we should love God first of all.
Hey, I noticed "Searchlights" by Falling Up is on there! It's a different version than the one I'm used to. I'm used to it being more techno, but I like this version too. Hmm...can you put up "Death of Me" by Red? It's currently my favorite song!
Alright! =D it's on.
i love this. God has such an amazing way of showing his love to us. :)
