From The Pastor
As we move closer to Valentine’s Day, we start to think about the meaning of love. The happiest people are those who experience love in their lives. A young student wrote a composition on Benjamin Franklin. “Benjamin Franklin was a poor boy. He went to Philadelphia to live. He didn’t have many clothes. One day he walked down the street and saw a pretty girl. She smiled at him. He smiled at her. Before long they were married and he discovered electricity.” Love is the “electricity” that brings energy and excitement to life.
Of course, God’s love is greatest. God’s love is the powerful “electricity” that created us in the beginning and gives life to us each day. Scripture tells us that “ God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them” (1 John 4:16). Abiding in God’s love means that we are cared for and strengthened to share this wonderful gift. We are loved into God’s future. This is God’s intention for us. The promise of the risen Christ is that nothing will ever thwart God’s intention.
Grace and peace to you,
