The ABC's of love: Valentine's Day help

St. Valentine was a priest who was executed in 269 A.D. for helping persecuted Christians. Valentine's Day comes from and honors his example of care — which is love. It's known that correspondence written by Valentine was closed using the words, “with love, your Valentine.”

“With love” is easier said than done. Illustrations of love by God are displayed daily for our assurance. Wisdom, God's desire, and understanding, God's way, can be realized by applying them to our life.

Beneficial instruction to knowing how love works is included in these “ABC's of love:

LOVE Accepts, Behaves, Cheers, Defends, Enriches, Forgives, Grows and Helps.

LOVE Includes, Joins, Kneels, Listens, Motivates, Notices, Overlooks and Provides.

LOVE Quiets, Respects, Surprises, Tries, Understands, Volunteers, Warms, Expects and Yields.

LOVE in action breaks the code that adds Zip to your life.
