Happy Valentine's Day! I know I am basically a day late for Valentine's Day, but, however, I have been very busy at my church. See, my youth group and I are planning a Valentine Banquet where we serve the adults at my church and try to raise money for my youth group activities. We had to decorate a lot of things such as curtains, billboards, tables, chairs, walls, and a bunch of other things! I had to take some stuff home so I have been REALLY busy. Now that I have that out of my way, Valentine's day is my next topic.This is were I talk about what love is. Araken has wondefully defined it as campanionship of the closest kind. You should definitely check out his Valentine's Day post. A lot of people may be really depressed because they may not have a boyfriend or girlfriend on Valentine's Day. I am actually one of those people, but I am not depressed about it because I know God loves me and that is the best love I will ever feel. Plus, I can't have a boyfriend till I'm married, anyway! I also do not feel bad if I don't have a boyfriend because I know my Prince is coming for me. Does anyone know Who I'm talking about? Jesus, of course!
Why should we feel bad on Valentine's Day just because we are single? I have God's love to complete me and that is all I need. God's love is pure and wonderful and with no strings attached. It says in the Bible in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, 13:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. . . And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. "
That is my absolute favorite verse in the Bible about love. It defines love more than I could ever hope to comprehend. These words are straight from the lips of God, and I trust them with all of my heart. Does anyone have any other verses about love they'd like to post? If you don't know one, then don't sweat it. I also have another verse about how much God loves us. It says int he Bible in 1 John 4:10:
“This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.”
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! I would also like to inform everyone that Kailani has joined the Young Christian Force! Please comment and thanks so much for reading this blog post!
God bless you!

1 John 4:10 is a gerat verse!
Hey Sapphira, can't think of a verse right now, just got back from 3.5 hours of non stop snowboarding. I love the post, though.
Great post! I love 1 Corinthians 13! I am memorizing it for my youth group.
And I think that people having girlfriends/boyfriends is overrated and totally unnecessary when you are, like, TWELVE. I am not planning on having BOYfriend until I'm at least 18. A friend who is a boy is different.
Great post! Thanks for the welcome!

Kailani, I'm thirteen, not twelve. Did you mean I was twelve?
no, I knew you were thirteen, and I wasn't talking about you personally. Sorry if you thought that! It's not what I meant! "You" is rather a broad pronoun... sorry!

Did I miss something?
I don't think so...
Phew! Good! Say, has everyone seen my snowboard? It's on my blog...
Great post! I haven't done a post for Valentine's Day, and I am not going to...somehow, the holiday is pretty much meaningless to me.
And the first verse you posted is one that I think I have overlooked a lot....hmmm....*goes off to think*
Hey, stop by my blog. I have a true story of a teen girl in Haiti. Pretty sad.
Everyone- check out Strivin's blog post. It's...wow
Ian-I know what you mean. We don't celebrate Valentines day. I find it really rather pointless. I (don't think) I wished any one a happy valentines day, but rather, happy day-before-friday-which-comes-before-saturday!
Wow Strivin's blog... wow...
