With Valentine's Day on the horizon, we look at true love. It isn't sexual and it isn't driven by ulterior motives. It is found with Christ on the cross. That is true, sacrificial, all encompassing love. It is mercy and compassion, patience and kindness. It really has nothing to do with sex. Sexual involvement is born out of man's base need for closeness and affection. True affection is found in the One who gave Himself to save you from your past misdeeds and indiscretions. That is a tidy way of saying 'sin'. Anything that is displeasing to God is sin. God isn't a cruel task master. He just happens to know what we need and what will make us most content in this life. Going it alone will bring temporary satisfaction but it will be fleeting. Take my word for it, I know. I have chased after the golden ring too many times to know it is unattainable. God's love is not. Ask for it and receive it, in Jesus name. rlkeller
