February at Caledonia Congregational Church

Friends-
This is the month that is known for love and romance.

We want chocolates, wine, flowers, cards, a date.

Maybe we should consider the source of love...

"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.  Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.  Whoever does not love does not know God, Because God is love." 1 John 4:8

God is the source of love.  He is love.  It's not just part of his character.  That is why it is so important to have him in your life.  All the wine, and chocolates, and flowers we can get our hands on won't measure up to one simple touch from the One who is love.  If you read the Bible much, you quickly conclude that it is all about love.  

I don't know about you, but I want love like that in my life- as much as I can get.

Do you know love?   Love knows you!
Gary
