Happy Valentine's Day

The ultimate valentine story is depicted in John 3:16. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son; that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”
John L Davies breaks the greatest valentine story down in this fashion:

God – the greatest lover;
So loved – the greatest degree;
The world
– the greatest company;
That He gave
– the greatest act;
His one and only Son – the greatest gift;
That whoever – the greatest opportunity;
Believes – the greatest simplicity;
In Him – the greatest attraction;
Should not perish – the greatest promise;
But – the greatest difference;
Have
– the greatest certainty;
Eternal life – the greatest possession.

For those who believe, Christ’s loss (of life) became our greatest gain (abundant life now and life with Him eternally.) A blessed valentine’s day to you all.
