DAILY?READINGS: Exodus 4; Psalm 34; Acts 1
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us. 1 John 3:16
Valentine’s Day! Cards given. Poetry attempted. Roses proffered. Chocolate conveyed. Reservations made. Wallets emptied. Expectations unattained. All in an attempt to put form and substance to that concept called love. Love is powerful. It is attractive. Everyone longs for it. Yet for all the attention it is given, defining love is difficult. But when our definitions fail, God points us to the personification of love—Christ laid down His life for us. On a day devoted to love, take a moment and by faith perceive again that scene at Calvary. Refresh yourself with a view of love in its purest distillation. —S. McEachern
To Calvary, Lord, in Spirit now our grateful souls repair;
To dwell upon Thy dying love, and taste its sweetness there. —E. Denny
