"Agape Love - The Ultimate Valentine"

Happy Valentine's Day!! - If there is one thing that I love to do more than writing, it is to love. I love loving. Today is the day, where we are telling everyone how much we love them. But then I got to thinking; what is true love? For some of us, we think it is purely physical, for others, we think it's all about romance, but most of us think it's only those famous three words that defines what real love is. And truthfully, all of these gestures are apart of it. But as I matured in life, I realized that true love supersedes far beyond those things that we believe is the ultimate love; real true love, is sacrifice. What makes me say that, you ask? Here's why - Real true love makes you love when you know people are trying to hurt you. It causes you to look beyond the negative, in order to see the positive. True love causes you to forgive, when you've been hurt deeply by the ones who you thought were in your corner, and then after you have done that, it will turn right around, and cause you to be kind to those same folk. True love doesn't allow you to judge, nor does it allow you to condemn. True love is compassionate, and understanding, and will take risks even when a situation doesn't look stable. Wow!! After coming to that realization, I asked myself, what form of true love is that, because can't no dinner or gift be compared to those kind of actions. And this is what I found out. That kind of true love, is called Agape. And the only way to get that kind of love, is if we have the love of Jesus Christ (the inventor of true love) on the inside of us first. His love, will always remain true, and infinite. So today, as you display all of your affections to all of your love ones, don't forget to recognize the One who was there loving and sacrifcing all along, way before a Valentine's Day ever existed. He is, and will always be, the Ultimate Valentine. Peace & Love....
