Love is not found on February 14 but in John 15:13
Since yesterday was Valentine's Day, I decided to publish this article today. I was curious to read what most of our writers had to say about the Valentine's Day holiday, and as expected, there were a lot of writings on the subject. While some people regard February 14 as a unique day to express love to their spouses, others dislike the day, claiming that love does not have to wait until February 14.
To set the records straight for those who believe that February 14 is a day to show love to their partner, there are millions of people out there who can't afford to buy gifts for their partner, not to mention the fact that Valentine's day is not for everyone. It might be for some people but to most, the day is merely a paid day of entertainment. The wealthy can go ahead and do what they want to do while the common people continue their normal lives as usual.
There is no magic date for love girls and boys. Neither is love ever found in a single place. Several young ladies spend the day in solitude and regret because they don't have anyone to celebrate the day with. But John 15:13 repeats, “Greater love has no man than this, that a man should die for his friends.”
It's easy to forget some of the most important things we have with Valentine's Day only a day away and some people still hunting for love connections. Countless young people commit suicide as a result of disappointment and betrayals from individuals they expected to spend Valentine's Day with. Young girls had their sanctity violated in the name of Valentine's Day celebrations, and they would have to deal with the consequences and injuries for the rest of their lives. Because of Valentine's Day, married men left their spouses at home and went on a hook-up with venerable ladies. These are some of the darker aspects of Valentine's Day, and should we still consider it a day of love?
As if Valentine’s day is special just because people had their hearts melted on that day. Does love have to have a date to become true? Is love ever just because of a certain date? Love, by its very nature, is a kind of “composition” that doesn’t sit on one date or year? Love doesn’t wait for a certain day and every word of the text is shown in its full measure in the rest of our lives.
Love is not found on February 14 but in John 15:13. The short sentence has meaning beyond what we see on the surface. Its verse is enough to live on in our hearts for the rest of our lives, and more importantly, for eternity. No greater love than this except for a man to die for his friend. The above verse is proof that love is not found only in the beautiful mushy stuff but is a divine power given by God to strengthen and motivate us to do what is right, right away, and to carry us through every situation.
There is no sacrifice on February 14 Valentine's love because people prepare for it. Sacrifice is what you do all the time to make your partner happy even when you don't feel like it. Here is where the depth of love is revealed: What you do to keep your partner happy even if you don't feel like it.
Committing your life to love in words and deed is what love is all about. To love people without reservation and accept them just as they are is to put your life on the line for them. To sacrifice your dreams, hopes, and happiness for another person is a special kind of love. You don't feel any deep love when It doesn't involve the sacrifice of your dreams, hopes, and happiness for someone else. And such can never be found on February 14 valentine.
Love has no season, no time of the year. Love is a long-awaited dream that comes true. Love is not found in the eyes of another but in the eyes of God. No matter how much people try to prove love is found on Valentine's day, it is not. At the end of the day, the real love we should seek is the love of God.
This is the type of love that the Bible says has no season, that's why it is always there for us, and that never changes. So, to those of us who celebrated the present Valentine's day, make sure you are with the right person and at the right place. All you should be looking for is the type of love that is sacrificial and eternal.
Live a life that proves you are truly a man or woman for others, not for yourself. Your love for Jesus and others has to match. It should reflect this on your every day because love isn't found on February 14 but in those special things that you do always for the sake of love.
A true lover of love never disappoints anyone because to disappoint is to fail. So have faith in God, trust Him, and pursue Him with all your heart. Love your loved ones to the fullest and don't be afraid of making sacrifices because love never fails.
Even the Quran also condemned Feb 14 as a sweetheart day, coz the day is always full of sins from people claiming Valentine's day as a love day, just because of what they want to get from themselves. At least this year's valentine came up on Monday, many were not chance to engage in doing rubbish stuff, unlike last.
