“We love because he first loved us”
‭1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭19

 Happy Valentine’s Day sweet friends.  I rarely post on Wednesdays, but this beautiful post written by my Renaissance Man popped up on my Facebook Memories.  As I read it, I thought this is too good not to revisit.  We have so many new readers since this was published three years ago.  I have updated the post and am hopeful it will speak to you as it did to me!

“Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble when you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window, perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer, it wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself and don’t know what to do
The memory of love will see you through”
-John Denver

John wrote and sang a beautiful song that speaks somewhat to the human condition when it comes to this thing called love.  In our humanness we must constantly work on loving and being loved..it isn’t automatic.  I’ve heard a lot about “love at first sight”.  Even so, it’s not “boom, got ‘er done.”  Only Christ, on a cross, in that moment of love’s greatest expression and demonstration can proclaim “It is Finished”.  (John 19:30) READ MORE
