Okay, I just realized it is Valentine’s Day. I don’t
celebrate it or acknowledge it as a holiday but one can’t help having love on
the mind when it’s on every channel, even my rebellious LinkTV. There are
cheesy red hearts and chocolate sales in every grocery store.
So this is NOT a Valentine’s Day bashing blog like you might
expect from me.
This is a blog about love and how it can change your life.
When we think of love we tend to think of romantic love, and then after that,
love for our parents and children. But there is another love, a broader love
that can shift the earth:
Love for humanity.
There is so much hate nowadays. It’s spouting from the
mouths of politicians and warlords and terrorists. It’s emitting from the
thoughts and actions of everyday citizens. We shouldn’t do good because we feel
sorry for others: that is not only insulting, but it does not inspire growth.
We shouldn’t do it out of sympathy or guilt. We should do good deeds out of
LOVE. Love for humanity. Love for our Creator. Love for ourselves.
So whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day or not, there is
one four letter word that should stay on your tongue and in your heart: LOVE
