"LOVE MEANS NEVER HAVING TO SAY YOU'RE SORRY" WRONG!

Good Evening to All!

February is the "month known for the holiday of "commercializing "love".  The stores will be bombarding us with greeting cards speaking of love, all kinds of candy, stuffed animals and flowers.  The jewelry stores will be plastering all of the television networks and newspapers with messages of  how we women just can't imagine not having a new diamond ring or necklace.

The thing is I really don't care ANYTHING about any of those things.  I would just as soon have my husband take me out to eat, or cook for me and wash the dishes.  Anyone can go to a store and spend money, but to do something one doesn't really enjoy doing just to show their spouse that they love them is really special.  Does that thought sound familiar?  On a MUCH, MUCH, MUCH SMALLER SCALE of course. 

And they spat on Him, and took the reed and began to beat Him on the head.  And after they had mocked Him, they took His robe off and pout His garments on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.  (Matthew 27:30-31)

 

My devotion for today brought up the movie of years past titled "Love Story".  It mentioned the coined cliche, "Love means never have to say your're sorry."  How wrong can they be?  That is exactly what love is.  Being able to say you are sorry and admitting when you are wrong.  Also if you have not done anything wrong and still saying you are sorry. Love demands that we ALWAYS say we are sorry.  How else can relationships be restored whether they are relationships in families or churches or even at our jobs? 

Saying we are sorry is a type of sacrifice, which is part of love.    To admit falibility is a sacrifice.  We are all human, we ALL make mistakes.  There is no shame in admitting it and to apologize.
