As Valentine's Day approaches, stores fill with red and pink hearts. Stores are filled with chocolates and flowers, the "perfect" gifts. Radio stations play love songs.
I'm listening to a love song, one written just for me. It is the sounds of my family talking in the other room. It is the sound of the phone ringing, a surprise call from a friend. It is the giggling of girls on a retreat. But Jesus does not just use sounds in this love song. There are colors...the dark blue of night as I left campus late, the pink sky I see when I wake up early, the bright white of snow covering the ground. Oh so many details go into this love song. The nights of tears and the moments of overwhelming joy. Each moment, He is singing to me, the words I need to hear, if only I listen. But not only to me, to each person because He loves us each as if there was only one person on earth.
How can I ever return such a love?
Pax Christi!
