A Loving Perspective
“Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8 [ESV]).
That special day is here once more, and I’m ecstatic for people who have the love they need in their lives.
The answer to sin is to love one another.
Genuine love offers itself to another and is not self-seeking.
We should always have the best interests of others in mind when considering how to treat them.
Every day that passes should be filled with biblical love, not only one time a year—but it’s nice to take a day out of the calendar to focus on that one emotion.
Valentine’s Day is not pagan because Christians are also allowed to have feast days that don’t infringe on the seven feasts of Yahweh.
If you hear anyone saying modern holidays are pagan in origin, vet it and don’t just take their word for it.
Don’t take my word for anything and make sure you investigate the Scriptures for yourself.
Blind following and assertions lead only to disaster.
Today’s day is about romance as much as it is to honor martyrdom in the faith.
There is nothing evil about either side of this holiday.
My opinion (and it is, indeed, an opinion) is to look for the Kingdom of God first, and all things shall be added to your life, including actual love.
In the modern era, it’s so easy to fall prey to people who don’t have your best in mind when it comes to love.
The modern scene is filled with people who are self-seeking or looking for a quick fling.
While that might work for those in the world, that is not how children of Yahweh should operate in the sphere of love.
Taking things slow, seeking marriage from the outset, and courting another person is the way of the Scriptures.
I think much heartache is avoidable if we’d only seek God first in our lives.
It’s obvious to me if someone doesn’t click with you, then you shouldn’t seek a relationship with them with romantic intentions.
I’ve said this often on here, but God created a soulmate for your life.
It’s not some “out-there” concept of mysticism but has a large foundation in the Bible and traditions surrounding the Bible.
Ancient Israel allowed forms of marriage that we don’t today, but God’s ideal is always a single man and a single woman, no matter what age we live in.
Some of us are called to a life of celibacy for the sake of the Kingdom.
Others will find love later in life, the best years of life.
Please don’t peak in high school—your best days are in the future.
Do your best to become a man or woman God can use in this current age.
In the Kabbalah tradition of Hebraic study, a soul is sent to Earth with a male and female emanation.
To find one’s other half is quite literal here. You reunite here on Earth. Finding the love that is meant for you.
That’s a profoundly romantic concept.
Bashert, or destiny, whether referring to fated mates or one’s soul purpose, is in view when considering your love life.
Think of that person as your mirror opposite, revealing yourself to you so that you can achieve your soul’s highest spiritual and earthly purpose.
If you want to make the world better in some way, and have not only a selfish desire in mind, you’ll also receive the love from heaven you’re meant to have, when you’re meant to have it.
This makes sense on God’s definition of love that Paul offers us in Corinthians. Love is not about selfish gain, or envy, or wicked things.
Love never fails.
Let us be content in the station we find ourselves in.
If we learn to align ourselves with light, fill up with purpose, seek the Father’s best will, and seek the help of heaven, we will find all that is meant for us.
Blessings and shalom to you!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Trust Yahweh.
He never fails!
