VALENTINE'S DAY EDITION: LOVE; NOT JUST FEELINGS!
"Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?...And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love..."(Rom. 8:35;38,NLT)
Many of us see love as some feeling we have towards something or someone that feels good. But the kind of love that we Christians ought to have actually goes beyond mere feelings. It is a decision! If we only limit our love to feelings, then what would become of us when that feeling is no more there? It is about time we woke up to the realization that love is a decision. Not just a feeling that we have, which could fade away. We make a resolution to love, so that in times of challenges we may hold on to that decision in hope. Paul was fully persuaded that NOTHING could separate him from the love of Christ. What do you also say? AB@TWD
