If Jesus Christ truly lives in our hearts and if Jesus is our Valentine, these things should be evident to everyone around us. Everyday should be Valentine’s Day - 
sharing the love to people that we live with, work with, see at church or the grocery store or the gym. Through Jesus Christ, our greatest goal is to do all things in love. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does no
t boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails" (1 Corinthians 13:4-8). (Forgiven Jewelry Valentines Posts click here)
