Words of Love

Even in the best of earthly relationships or the closest marriage, we don’t always feel loved. For many people Valentine’s Day is a difficult reminder of what we don’t have, whether we are single or married. Because we live in a broken world, our expectations are often unrealized and our dreams of love are far from reality.

We long for a perfect lover, one who knows us intimately and loves us unconditionally. No one on earth will ever meet those expectations but God.

As we celebrate Valentine’s Day, it’s a great time to ponder words of love from God to his people.

Attention-grabbing Blogs

What grabs your attention and draws you to read a blog?

I have now been writing them now for a year-and-a-half and reading them even longer. I would love to hear what appeals to you, the reader. I not only have this blog, but I write on Tapestry and watch the number of reads and wonder about these things. Other than liking a particular topic, what else appeals to you?

What do you see that makes you link and read an entire post, not just go to the page and fail to READ MORE? Do any of the following draw you into the post?
