“MONTH OF LOVE!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

February 4, 2025///

It is February, the month of Love!

There are many kinds of Love! The love of a parent for their children or the love of children for their parents!

The love of a sibling or other family members and the love of friends.

February brings out the celebrations of the love of a spouse or companion or future spouse.

It is a great month for some and a month of depression for others who have lost someone close since last February, are lonely, feel neglected and many other reasons.

Other kinds of love we encounter are not so good. We love ourselves way too much. We work too much and seem to love jobs and money more than the people in our lives.

We love success and praise and things that lift us up.

We should work at something we enjoy but keep in mind that work, success, and other what I call just things will pass.

But the kind of love that will last is love for others! Those we know well, those we are just acquainted with or see and all of God’s creation!

People! People need Love and true love comes not from a person but from the Lord Jesus Christ, maker of heaven and earth!

We cannot fully, genuinely love others the way we should unless we allow the truth and love of Jesus Christ to dwell deep inside!

We can absolutely love because He first loved us and gave Himself for us!

Do you want to love others better? Allow the love that is available to you from our Father God and Jesus Christ our savior to fill you from the inside out and you will be able to love others more than yourself!

Love is action! Are we always thinking about what we need instead of what we can do to show love and care to those around us, starting with family and then friends and then to all we encounter!

When asked what the greatest commandment was Jesus gave two!

Mark 12:30 (KJV)

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

Mark 12:31 (KJV)

And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Why these two? If you Love God, with all you are and you love and show others that love, all the other things you should and should not do that are in the Bible fall into place.

But to really love others is to allow Gods love to be real to us deep in our insides.

To see people as they can be and not as they are, comes from receiving Gods love!

YOU ARE LOVED BY GOD WHO LOVES LIKE NO OTHER!

This February, ask God to show you how to love and how to put that love in action!

Father, I come in Jesus’ name! I praise you that you love us unconditionally and you show us every day in action! Every breath we take and every step we walk, every beat of our heart comes from you! May each person who reads this understand how much they are loved by you, their creator! Amen!

Love, MeMaw
