Celebrate the day of true love

SUMMARY: Valentine's Day is celebrated as the Day of Love, where people exchange cards, chocolates, and gifts. Love is difficult to define and has been studied by theologians, philosophers, psychologists, and sociologists. While external manifestations of love may vary according to time and culture, the essence of love remains intact through the centuries. Love is a gift from God to his creatures and is expressed through loving God and loving others. The Bible defines love as long-suffering, benign, not envious, not boastful, not puffed up, not seeking its own, not irritated, not holding a grudge, not enjoying injustice, but enjoying truth, suffering everything, believing everything, waiting and supporting everything. We should strive to love according to the standard of Christ and invite God to be the one who defines and informs our way of loving.

Every February 14 in some countries, including the United States, Valentine's Day is celebrated, also known as the Day of Love. It is customary for friends and lovers, classmates, and parents and children to exchange cards , and even chocolates and gifts.

We have all spent some time philosophizing with others about what love is. Few words are so difficult to define. And few words are so abused. There are those who claim to love when in reality they only feel a superficial attachment or infatuation for another person. There are others who say they love their dog, their car, and even their favorite chewing gum.
