It's Valentine's day. A day when "I love you" is thrown around like confetti. It's pretty, but fades and is left to be trampled on or blown whichever way the wind carries it. "I love you" should mean more than that. Here is how I view "I love you".
"I love you" is a parent tearfully and repeatedly carrying their child to the cross until the child wants to go there and stay.
"I love you" is wanting the best for a person, even if it doesn't include you. It's letting go even though it hurts.
"I love you" is believing and hoping in God for a person, but knowing that they have to experience it personally.
"I love you" is recognizing and encouraging the dreams of another person without having to give up your own.
I read one that a woman's heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him in order to find it. That's the "I love you" worth waiting for...the love that won't get trampled, won't fade, won't be tossed about by the wind. A love that is built on a solid rock...The Solid Rock
