February 14 is a day set aside to celebrate love. The world has twisted “love” to mean lust. This love comes with conditions that must be kept to keep it going. In the past, I was in love with the chocolate I got for Valentines Day. I searched the world for love. Later, I learned that only God’s love is pure and infinite.

1 John 2:15 is, “Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.” (Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015). I have experienced God’s unconditional love over the years. He has shown love to me even when I was my worst. Unlike chocolate or other worldly things, God loves me back. His love is strong enough to take my eyes off temptations. I now love God instead of the world.
