Valentine Week 2015: Why do we LOVE?

WHY do we love? 

 . . .since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,  fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. (Hebrews 12:1-3)

What is our motivation to LOVE? God first loved us! (1 John 4:19) Even while we were His enemies . . . He loved us! (Romans 5:8) God IS love. (1 John 4:8) We are made in His image (Genesis 1:27) so we have a desire to love and to be loved.

Does this change in any way your idea of LOVE?
