#Day 45: 14 Feb 2016
THE LOVE DAY
The fridge is empty around 4am. And that's how we start the day (or finished, I am confused haha). So much of preparing the magic of romantism for valentine's day.
Today is the love day. The valentine's day. The day that a lot ot owner of flower shops, gift shops and restaurants are waiting for.
The multiplying revenue day, I said :) there I said it :) (hope not many die hard romantic people reading this)
For me, love is beyond this valentine's day. It goes beyond a day, beyond a week, beyond a year. It goes beyond time. It also goes beyond material gifts, beyond all fancy sweet words, beyond feelings. It goes beyond people near us, beyond friends, it even beyond mere family.
Love goes all the way. Love is unlimited. Love never ends. All above, will surely ends!

I like below definition of love. I find it the perfect definition of love: (1Chorintians 13: 4-8)
- Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
- It does not dishonor others, 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.
- Love never fails.
While I am writing this devotion, it crossed my mind the fact that God is Love. And indeed He is perfect.
1 John 4:8 says "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love"
Just like Apostle Paul have written "Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ" (1 Chorintians 11:1), we ought to give our best to be Christlike, to be like Him means to be perfect form of love.
(Try reading the 1Chorintians 13: 4-8 again. Change the Love word with God. When you finish, read it again, and now change the Love word with your name)
And that I found can be a powerful motivation to love.
Back to the Love day, the valentine's day. I wish the day is not merely becoming a day everything I said above. Those that will and surely ends.
I guess it is not merely about mishy mushy feelings. I hope it will become an everyday commitment, to become Christlike. At least, I am telling this to myself.
Enjoy the day folks. Happy Valentine's Day everyone. Enjoy your time with love ones.
God bless.
