Love is in the air…

The month of February brings with it romantic notions of ‘love’: cupid and his arrows, of candy, flowers, cards and gifts being exchanged between loved ones & wannabes across the globe.
It’s not really surprising that in our consumerist and conditional world, people have a warped idea of love. Fornication and adultery in various degrees surrounds us everywhere.
The Truth is this; Love comes from God (1 John 4:7). St. Paul gives us a beautiful definition of love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking , it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
Wouldn’t you give everything to have someone love you perfectly like that?
