Have A Lovely Day!
'Love is patient and kind' 1 Corinthians 13:4
Most of us are fond of the odd chunk or two (make that bar or two) of chocolatey loveliness. With a name like chocolate it has to be good, right? The advertising world encourages us to 'spoil, treat, relax, indulge' with... chocolate!
To attract that special someone's attention you need to, 'make the face you love light up' with... chocolate! In the advertising world chocolate symbolises love. To love yourself and to love others you need... chocolate! Truth is, chocolate, once it's out of that wrapper, doesn't last long. It satisfies only a moment - before heading straight for your hips to taunt you. Not even a whole box of the stuff can make the object of your desire fall head over heels in love with you.
If you want to know what real love is, you have to go to the main source. 1 John 4:8 tells us, 'God is love' and this is what God says real love is like: 'patient and kind ... not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance' (1 Cor. 13:4-7 NLT).
God's love always satisfies and never disappoints. God lavishes His love on you. So indulge yourself. Know from Him what it means to love and be loved. And have a lovely day!
