I did this for me and thought I might as well share.
My favorite love verses in one place.
1 John 4:7-8
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
Romans 12:9-10
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
Mark 12:30
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
1 Corinthians 13:4-13
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not 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. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
All are New International Version.
Staying with the Non-Commercial meaning of love… 🙂 Here are service projects if you are near Smyrna, Georgia: Your whole family can participate on Valentine’s day and show love to others. Meet at Smyrna First United Methodist on Concord Road at 10AM for a continental breakfast and then break out to the following places for a day of service (your choice):
Seven Bridges Ministry, Fitzhugh Lee School, Woodland Ridge Assisted Living, Gardens of Smyrna Memory Care Facility, and Friends of Refugees. Services vary from Bingo with Assisted living residents to clean up of flower beds and pizza parties.
My family will be split up among Fitzhugh Lee, The Gardens and Friends of Refugees.
