Pink, red, cupcakes, candy, cards, the usual.

People sending their lovers roses and stuffed teddy bears.

The same three words: I love you.

So many of us

think that Valentine’s Day is about spending time with their significant other, as some may say.

For many who do not have a significant other, they tend to dread this day.

They feel out of place, because they feel as though they are not participating with the rest.

Maybe cupid’s intention was make people love everyone around them.

Valentine’s Day is a day of love – the kind of love that makes you to keep living life.

The thing is,

We need love, and we are to wait for our supposed significant other that is dramatized by movies and television shows and music videos,

We might be waiting a very long time, until we feel complete and whole.

How is that fair?

If that were the case, Valentine’s Day is a cruel holiday.

But, if it were cruel, I wouldn’t feel happy seeing so many people feeling excited about Valentine’s Day.

Here’s something, that you may not have heard of yet: Valentine’s Day is actually a day of friendship.

A day of camaraderie.

Your friends are the ones who will stick by your side; they acre about you.

They will not leave you.

If you feel like you do not have any friends, remember this:

Someone died on the cross for you so that you could live life of eternal happiness.

There’s no greater love than the love of Jesus.
