Love is a commitment.
Love is a choice.
Love is condition-free.
The origin of Valentine's Day.
When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons, where they were often beaten and tortured. According to one legend, an imprisoned Valentine actually sent the first “valentine” greeting himself after he fell in love with a young girl–possibly his jailor’s daughter–who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter signed “From your Valentine,” an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories all emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic and–most importantly–romantic figure. By the Middle Ages, perhaps thanks to this reputation, Valentine would become one of the most popular saints in England and France.
Love is a powerful feeling. Love is about commitment. Source of love, creator of love - God. God is love.
For God so love the world. God loves you with an everlasting love.
Jesus says i will never leave you event to the end of the age. God is committed to us.
2 Timothy 2:13
If we are faithless, He remains faithful.
Agape love is a unconditional love, a selfless and sacrificial love.
Family upbringing is important and as a family, show love in your family and be a loving example. Give affection, be kind and speak in love.
Listening ear and provide supports.
Hear, hugs, help, hope and honor your family members. Phillipians 2
Singleness is not a problem. Jesus is single. Apostle Paul is single.
Adam started out single, excellence in paradise, before woman is created. Jesus is your valentine !
Love commits to the marriage.
Love commits to the family. (You learn love from family)
Love commits to GOD !!!
