The Perfect Lover's Gift
by Peter F Whyte, 12 Feb 2008
It is the custom that those who love give gifts. We are urged to give generously to those we love, especially on Valentine's Day.
“And God so loved the world — each one of us — that he gave — much more than a box of chocolates, or a bunch of flowers, or even a diamond ring — he gave his only Son, that — more than we should be happy or joyful, but — that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
The question is, "What are you doing with God's gift this Valentine's Day?" It's not just for a day, or even a week, but for a lifetime — an eternal lifetime.
