Some weeks back, I was reading one online news portal to understanding what is going on in my nation, I saw the headline of a murder. It was really interesting headline because a lady was murdered for love. One side love of a man and continue denial of lady led man to kill her for love because he was unable to get her.
Seasons comes with some excitement in lives, and goes with some short of impact directly or indirectly in our lives. As the days are passing Valentine is with us and many of us has different plans and programs to convey the love message to our girlfriend, boyfriend and many of us to husband and wife. Let us forget about the beginning of this day, and focus now in love and love only.
Generally in wider understood way, love means a feeling or emotion of one's heart which depends in same short of reaction from other too. But in this valentine we shouldn't miss an opportunity to know about a love which was not depended in this type of reaction. A selfless love which was demonstrated for you. A time less love which was shown towards you and entire humanity. Even in our infirmities, even in our unworthiness, even in our sinfulness.

A time less love which was shown towards you and entire humanity. Even in our infirmities, even in our unworthiness, even in our sinfulness.
Apostle Paul writes about this selfless love on his second letter to the believers of God in Corinth "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich" (II Cor. 8:9). Apostle John also indicates about the greatest love in his Gospel "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" (Jn 3:16).
As human, we want some one to love us back when we love them. But we can see here a love which never forced us to love back, some times even while we were running away from this love. As human we know when some one whom we love turns away from us, our heart pains, but we never think it seriously how much pain we are giving each day to God our creator through our action to run away from Him. Still, our God is silent and waiting us to be back to Him. This is same fact Prophet Jeremiah understood after the destruction of Jerusalem. When God sent His wrath to wicked Judah and they were taken captive into the foreign land of Idol worshipers, at this time also the love of God was not reduced for that ungodly generation. The prophetic word of God came to Jeremiah regarding his everlasting love to Judah, "The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee" (Jer. 31:3).
In this world, love kills, love gives pain, love requires to love back, but there is a God who loves His children without selfless and with an everlasting Love. God didn't love you by seeing some extra-ordinary abilities in you, or talents in you, or your outward prettiness, but his unconditional love toward you is because you are his creation. It is just because God created you with love in his own image and likeness.
Today, God is calling you to be his valentine. He is calling you into His selfless Love. And just through your faith in Jesus Christ you can be again into love with God the Creator of Heaven and Earth.
In this valentine, are you willing to be back to the relationship with God?
