As Christians was made to know in John 3:16 that "for God so loved the world that He gave His Only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life", a wonder in this statement is that i always feel the presence of the love God had & have on the human race every-time i read it. We both know you & i cannot give out something of value for the sake of our community let alone the human world not because we do not love the community but because we are human or is the LOVE described in John 3:16 humanly possible? That we can answer.
Coming to the human world to talk of love, February 14 is celebrated as valentine's day on earth and it is remembered as a day to express love to our loved ones. Being honest and evaluating our conscience, we should all research the impact of valentine's day on our past and present lives because February 14 - 20 of 2015 has four-working days and i believe it is enough to welcome our various nations into a New Beginning & New Day provided we are true to our culture. You and i can check if truly we are faithful to the culture of valentine by ascertaining its impact on/between relationships of;

2) our communities, states & nations,
3) local firms, companies, & organizations,
4) personal relationships,
5) citizens & administrators,
6) rich & poor, etc.
Personally, i feel that valentine should check and balance the love status of man's personal relationships, i.e, increasing/reducing love status where low/high as regards personal relationship. For so long we have defined valentine in the narrow sense of expressing love to our matrimonial partner, boyfriend/girlfriend. Please don't get me wrong, i mean to say who will show love to the 'poor and less-privileged' of the human world if you and i don't. Yes, Feb 14 is a day to express love, who have we shown love unto, have we shown love to ;
1) The poor people of the community,
2) Diseased people in the community & health centers,
3) Fatherless & Motherless homes,
4) Orphans of our community,
5) Individuals/Societies/Communities in need of food, shelter, & clothing,
6) Organize games/challenges that effect positive change in the society; these are some out of the many groups who needs our love and by so doing we will be participating in a community project which develops our various country.
