Title: Jesus Christ the Epitome of Love.

-
John 13:34-35  A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Devotion: While Valentine's Day itself is not mentioned in the Bible, it is often associated with themes of love, kindness, and selflessness, which are central to Christian teachings. The day is named after St. Valentine, a Christian martyr, but the celebration of love on this day has evolved over time.
 Here are some biblical themes that align with the spirit of Valentine's Day:
1. Love for One Another: Jesus taught his followers to love one another as He loved them (John 13:34-35). This commandment emphasizes the importance of showing love and kindness to others.
2. Selfless Love:The Bible talks about selfless love, also known as agape love, which is the highest form of love. This is the kind of love that is sacrificial and unconditional (1 Corinthians 13:4-7).
3. Marriage and Partnership: The Bible speaks about the sanctity of marriage and the importance of love and commitment between partners (Ephesians 5:25-33, Genesis 2:24).
  Valentine's Day can be a reminder to embody these principles by showing love, compassion, and appreciation to those around us. Whether you celebrate it or not, every day is a good day to spread love and kindness. 
  I urge you to go out there and share agape love with your neighbours and friends.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
