The title sounds
weird right? yeah!! February 14th has unconsciously turned a trade day
for teenagers, 98% of teenagers engaged themselves in a "trade by
barter" deal on val day.
Valentine's day had
become a day where teenagers negotiate their pride and destiny all in
the name of showing love. I'm not saying its wrong to show love, but
there are other means of showing love to your "assumed" loved one
without trading your values.
God's definition of
love is keeping his commandments. the commandments of God are there
because HE LOVES US. The commandments of God gives us the guidelines on
how to have a fulfilling, blessed and joyful love. Valentine's day is
just the opposite. There is nothing wrong in showing love to others,
afterall it is the most valued christian characteristics, but what has been
lost is how we go about it.. showing love as God instructs is not
wrong- romantic love included (for married couples). it's a good thing to
express your love towards others through cards, flowers, dinning out etc
.. but don't do it under the trapping of devaluing yourself (fear of
losing your partner).
God is personified by
the characteristics of love (1 john 4:8). Godly love is genuine
outgoing concern for others as God would love them - not as a selfish
love.
Teenagers had
allowed valentine day to carter for the very human nature that we have. Though we are not perfect but we are created by a perfect God, why allow
yourself to be drown in the ocean of lust and indecision?
On February 14th of every year:
Most destinies will
be traded for fun, innocent lives will be brought to suffer (unwanted pregnancy), careers
will be destroyed, values will be lost, self esteem will disappear, so
many lives will be thrown into bondage, the spirit of indecision and
lust will take over, bodies and spirits will be defiled.
Why not take up your mantle and run for value..?
Be an advocate of self value, never compromise your values for anything(NOT even gold)
Remember all that glitters are not gold.....
You have the power to determine your future now..
Show love wisely!!!
