Say no to Valentine's day as the only day of showing love.

Life is full of miseries and as such should be handled with so much care given its fragile look and such could be the way we direct them to the services of the others.

In this topic today, I shall be making us understand why we must say no to Valentine's day of showing love as the main and only day such should happen, but before that, let us first look into the meaning and reason behind the establishment of Valentine's day.

What is valentine?

This is also called saint Valentine's day or the feast of saint Valentine that is celebrated annually especially on a set unchangeable date of February the 14th day of every year.

It is called the celebration of love and affection and marked by the sending of greeting cards and gifts, dating, church services and novenas.

This day(Valentine's day), originated as a Christian feast day honouring one or two early Christians martyrs named saint Valentine.

However, what proofed to be a celebration of an early Christians that were martyred especially, the saint Valentine would later become a very significant cultural, religious and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world.

Comparing this Valentine's day celebration with what the biblical instructions says about love, we have it that at 1 Corinthians 13 vs 1-3, where the bible talk about love as being kind, patient, does not jealous, does not envy, does not dishonor, does not brag, does not seek out for its own selfish interest, does not take any delight in what is bad but rejoices with the truth.

Yes, going by these simple biblical terms and terminologies regarding love, what can see for sure are the real expression of what love is, stands for and should as such, mean to us all.

Inversely, in the context of Valentine's day celebration, we have it that it requires showing love and sending gift cards to persons we love and those we are into a dating relationship with but far from it, that I'm sorry can never be love as the Bible's upheld standards has been able to spell them out to us for our instruction over time.

Regrettably, many have aligned themselves with this day as the only day to show love and even give arms to the needy and unfortunately too, most churches, mosques and other spiritual homes have joined up in these whole wrong gesture of love to mean just the Valentine's day alone.

Therefore, if you are fond of thinking in that same direction, I'll rather advice you quit such and come to the way of knowledge and truth for God's word the bible says, "You will know the truth and the truth will set you free".

Yes, knowing the truth is like making your way straight and strengthening your path as I advice you show love at all times and not on a certain period being what is prevalent in the world everywhere.
