Happy Valentines day! As you hold your loved one close today keep in mind that he/she is a gift from God Himself and He's feeling the same joy that you're feeling when you hold your loved one close and bask in his/her nearness.
Why do I say that your mate is a Gift from God? Because it is God's essential nature to love, and being made in His image it is in our nature to love also. God demonstrates this by giving us a partner that we can cherish as he cherishes us, but there's more. God demonstrates His love by lavishing it on undeserving people who are in rebellion against Him. God’s love is not a sappy, sentimental, romantic feeling. Rather, in Greek it is called agape love, which is the love of self-sacrifice.
But love is only one part of God's nature, so who is God? Mat Slick at carm.org provided a list that explains just who and what God is:
