Real love isn’t our love for God, but his love for us. God sent his Son to be the sacrifice by which our sins are forgiven. ~ 1 John 4:10 (CEV)
Merciful God, your love is the real thing. When I try to love I always stumble. I can't make it happen consistently. But you lovingly sacrificed so that I could be forgiven of my shortcomings and sin. Help me to speak often of your love and to act it out even more often. I'm excited about being a living valentine card that sends your love to others. Amen.
