February is a month of love. It is also the month of the Valentine’s party. And don’t forget Chinese New Year. For families and holy marriages, it is a Cupid day. Cupid in Greek mythology is the god of love.
February is also the beginning of the low season; where we celebrate Ash Wednesday. Have you thought about its meaning for life? “From dust to dust…” Mardi Gras or street parties and dances are also celebrated in some parts of the world in this month.
But don’t worry GOD is love so love never dies. We all live to love and be happy.
Here are 10 words for February that I defined and researched for you as my heart month gift:
1. love: charity, sacrifice, heart
John 3:16 – “For GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son so that everyone who believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
2. honey: honey, a thick sweet golden liquid that bees make from the nectar they collect from flowers
3. dear: precious, special, beloved, spouse
4. baby: suck the mother’s milk, child, babies
5. falling in love: infatuation, admiration, ephemeral love, fantasy

8. heart: an organ of the body that pumps blood, soul, feeling of affection, chest, courage

9. Eros: Freudian instinct for sexual desire and self-preservation manifested as the libido
10. Cupid: symbol of Valentine’s Day or Hearts Day (February 14); in Greek mythology the god of love, son of Aphrodite. The Romans call him Cupid.
And always remember 1 Corinthians 13:4-8…
“Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty, selfish or rude. Love does not demand what it wants. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and hardly notices when others get it wrong. He never rejoices in injustice, but rejoices when the truth wins. If you love someone, you will be loyal to him no matter the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best from him, and always stay stand firm to defend it. All special gifts and powers will one day come to an end, but love goes on forever.” (The Living Bible)
Happy month of the heart!
