– Our Loving Friend — Romans 5:6-11
…
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, and many people no doubt received cards, gifts, or kind words from friends and family. But no matter how tender our expressions of affection can be, human love pales in comparison to Jesus’ divine love, which He demonstrated by dying on the cross to save us.

“It’s LOVE that make the world go ’round . . . !”

Don’t just pretend that you love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Stand on the side of good. Love each other with genuine affection and take delight in honoring each other (Romans 12:9-10 NLV).

Take the Pressure Off Valentine’s Day
Whitney Von Lake Hopler
…
Gazing at bright orange and pink colors streaking across a deepening blue sky at sunset, my husband and I held hands atop a platform on the Eiffel Tower. I thought of the thousands of miles we’d traveled and all the money we’d saved to make this trip to Paris for our 10th wedding anniversary. We’d set the stage for the most romantic evening possible … yet we still ended up with a disappointing experience.

You may be feeling passionate, which could find you giving your full energy whether playing sports or preparing a party. Your wholehearted enthusiasm for whatever task is before you can make each endeavor into a celebration of life that includes all those around you. Passion is our life force energy on full blast, which is wonderfully enlivening, but also requires balance. It can offer us direction in deciding where to invest our time and energy, but we will also need down time as well. Sometimes passion erupts as anger or turns sadness into despair, but it is the power that creates the hilltop experiences that also come with valleys. Passion gives our lives drama and excitement, but it is not our only source for living life to the fullest. By enjoying your passions, you accept their gifts and live life on full blast for a moment... Read More

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

What a great reward! Robin had never looked so good. All her months of dieting paid off royally. It was beautiful to see the expressions on people’s faces when they saw her. She couldn’t wait to go out to show herself off. God had certainly blessed her through the rough time of dieting. There were days when she decided it just wasn’t worth it. Now, she could hardly believe she ever had doubts. Looking in the mirror, she even surprised

Layers Of Feeling
Coping With Passive Aggression
Many people are taught from a young age to suppress feelings commonly regarded as negative, such as anger, resentment, fear, and sorrow. Those who cannot or will not express these emotions tend to engage in passive-aggressive behaviors that provide them with a means of redirecting their feelings. Passive aggression can take many forms: People who feel guilty saying “no” may continually break their promises because they couldn’t say no when they meant it. Others will substitute snide praise for a slur to distance themselves from the intense emotions they feel. More often than not, such behavior is a cry for help uttered by those in need of compassion and gentle guidance.
