Love

Love. So many words may rush to your head when you hear the word “love.” Valentine’s Day, Boyfriends, Hearts, Flowers, Candies, Dates. Or even Family, Friends, Caring, Providing… So many ideas can come from one word. But what is the basis of love? What do we, as girls, need to do to make sure we have the best idea of love that there is?
Thinking of the phrase “colorme31” or “colormeLOVE”…let’s look at Proverbs 31:10, “A capable, intelligent, and virtuous woman--who is he who can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls.” Now let’s take a look at your character? What characteristics of a Proverbs 31 girl do you have? Ones that make you more precious than jewels, rubies and pearls?!
You know the scripture that says, “and the greatest of these is love”? Well it’s true. And the Bible also talks about God being love. Take a look at this expert from the book “31 Girl” by Mary Simpson.
“Stay Close to Love. The Bible says in 1 John 4:8 that God is love. This means that by staying close and plugged into the ultimate source of love then we cannot but be changed. As you spend daily quality time with God His character is deposited in you. The more time you spend with Him, the more you become like Him.
Staying close to God also keeps us “in love” with Him. Revelation 2:4 says that we should not forsake our first love. Above all else, our Heavenly Father must be our first love. That’s not to say we can’t have other loves in our life but He has to be our priority, our personal Number One.”
When you first read the word “Love” at the beginning of this blog, did “God” come to your mind? Hmmm.. Put God as your Number One and see what happens in your life. I can guarantee you it won’t stay the same. Is he already first?? Step it up, and see what He does! J
Have a very happy Valentine’s Day. Show your love to God, your parents, siblings and loved ones!! Make sure you put your words into action! <3
