February is the month that we talk about love more than any other time of the year. Of course, with Valentine’s Day last Wednesday, many of us enjoyed a special meal, gift or date with a loved one. But how about expressing love beyond our family and friends.
February always reminds me of the Bible’s ‘love’ chapter from I Corinthians 13:
“If I had the gift of being able to speak in other languages without learning them, and could speak in every language there is in all of heaven and earth, but didn’t love others, I would only be making noise. If I had the gift of prophecy and knew all about what is going to happen in the future, knew everything about everything, but didn’t love others, what good would it do? Even if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, I would still be worth nothing at all without love. If I gain everything I have to poor people, and if I were burned alive for preaching the Gospel but didn’t love others, it would be of no value whatever.” — I Corinthians 13: 1-3 Living Bible
Love is so much more than the typical definition we give it. It is more than romance or sex — it embodies understanding, acceptance, compassion and care for one another.
I challenge you today to focus on ways you can share love with those around you. Maybe spending some extra time listening to your kids or spouse. Call up an old friend or older family member just to say hi. Or how about sharing something as simple as a smile with the people you meet on the streets and in the stores.
There are so many things we can do to show love and when we do, we share a bit of happiness with the people around us. How much better our world would be if we all shared love with everyone we come in contact with!
Changing the world, one life at a time!
