Just One Word!

There is a word consisting of four letters that can mean different things to different people.  For most people, it’s the word many of us look forward to hearing from time to time. Women listen to hear it and men wait to say it. Well, at least until the women says it first, but then again, not every time.

In our modern English is can refer to a positive emotion. It’s positive at times in a small sense or enormous when it is connected with strong emotions. In one way, some people will say it with flippancy while others use it so sparingly one might believe the person has never said it. On top of this it can be associated with things as well as people. I guess it’s very difficult for some people to actually mouth the words.

The teenage age boy will say it haltingly.  As he looks at this girl who likes him a lot, he thinks it over for a very long time until he gets up the courage to actually say, - THAT WORD.  “You know, we have known each other for a long time and I have liked you all this time but now, something else has happened and I want you to know that I LLllllll, . . . I Lllllooooooo,  I Lovvvvvvvv,  I Love You? I love you”. Took long enough but he finally got it out. All the time he is thinking to himself, “Seems so easy to say it about the car but not the girlfriend”.

Friday we will be celebrating love. For some, it will be difficult to say those three letter words, for others it will probably be easier to buy something and leave it on the kitchen table when you go off to work. For some, love has been a bit of a struggle for a while. Seems like love has been less evident for some time. Take a minute, close your eyes and relive the love that started it all those many years ago. Got it? Remember? Relive that amazing moment on Friday and say it because you mean it. Go ahead, say it!

After all God said it to us and did in for us in John 3:16. “For God so loved you (the world) He gave you His Son. . .

Something to think about.
