John 13:35 says "By this all men shall know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." The kind of love this is talking about is not "give me what I want when I want it, selfish, I deserve this because ... love". This is a selfless, Lord unless you fill me with this love I can never give it away. Only those who are willing to spend time with God in His Word and in Worship will ever have a chance of living this kind of love. As the world honors a "young priest, Father Valentine", who lived a few hundred years ago because he sent heart shaped bouquets to young lovers, let's you and me share the love the our Savior Jesus Christ died to demonstrate to the whole world.
God's love never gives up, cares more for others than for itself, doesn't want what it doesn't have, doesn't strut, doesn't have a swelled head, doesn't force itself on others, doesn't revel when others grovel, puts up with anything, always looks for the best, never looks back, keeps going to the end and never fails. Ask God to fill you over and over until this kind of love begins to spill out of you without thought or effort and then you will be walking in and by His Spirit!
Today is not an accident. There are no surprises for the Lord. He has planned out your moments and the wisest decision anyone can make is to find His plan and walk in it completely. Our issue is we do not consult Him and then wonder why He is not leading us. He not only wants us to ask Him what is best, He wants us to seek Him before we begin anything. Psalm 68:19 "Bless the Lord who daily loads us with benefits". Seek Him first and live out the best days of your Life.
