Who Do You Love Most?

As you all know, Valentine's Day is coming up. It's a holiday all about love. And in order to show that person or people your love you give them valentines, chocolates, teddy bears, jewelry...you get my point. It's a very sweet holiday that I do enjoy celebrating. But I just want to encourage you on this Valentine's Day to really think about who it is you love the most. Is it your wife or husband (if you are married), is it your parents, your siblings, your friends - I'm sure you could name off a whole bunch of more people...or is it God? Just think about it. Who do you think you should love the most? God or someone here on earth? Well I'm sure you've already guessed the answer...it's GOD! He should be your number one person you love, and He should be FIRST on your priority list, no questions asked. Yes, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with loving someone here on earth, that's not what I'm saying. Trust me, I can name off people that I love right now if I wanted to. But who do you personally love most? Be honest. If a person here on earth comes to mind first, don't shove it off. You need to get things straight right now. God died for your sins so that you did not have to pay the punishment for them and so that you could go to heaven when you die! JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU! It's says in the bible, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish but have everlasting life."!  Mark my words, when Christ was on the cross...HE WAS THINKING OF YOU. He knew you would be born, and he already knew his plan and purpose for your life. And he already knew that he wanted to have a personal relationship with you. And he already knew what you would look like...name it - and HE KNEW!
He's the one who gave us what we have today, and He's the one who has given us the people we love....he created them himself! So why wouldn't He be the One you love the most? He should be. And if He is not, it either means you are not a believer or you are a wavering Christian...I URGE you to get things right. He has so much He's just waiting to show you and use you for! We humans just make everything difficult. Living for yourself always ends in heartache....does that sound fun to you?
So I am praying that this Valentine's Day will be a happy one for you but that it would also a be a holiday to get you to think...who do you love most? God or someone else? I'm praying that it's God...HE SO LOVES YOU!
