God does not love us because we are lovable, have a pleasing personality or a good sense of humor, or at rare times show exceptional kindness. In spite of who we are and what we have done, God wants to pour out His love on us, for the unlovable are also precious unto Him. David B. Haight
It’s Valentine’s Day so LOVE is in the air; and although most celebrate it as a day for romantic love, it is my experience that the most enduring love between a man and a woman is that which grows out of the Godly love we receive from our Father. We “learn” to love as we are the recipients of love. One cannot search the scriptures and ponder the gifts from the heart of God without coming to understand that all good is motivated by and carried to fruition by pure, genuine, unselfish love. Being so loved in my imperfection, it behooves me to remember to see my good husband as the Savior sees him; to allow that perfect love to flow through me that I may love better and be a blessing in his life.
