[The Glory Unveiled]
Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it. If a man would give for love. All the wealth of his house, it would be utterly despised. [ Song of Songs 8:7 NIV ]
The flames of true love cannot be quenched by many waters. To pour oceans upon it would still be a waste, for when love truly burns, nothing can extinguish it. Scripture declares that even if a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly despised. This reveals a powerful truth: the worth of love cannot be measured in money, gifts, or possessions. Love is not quantified by material things. Neither is love measured merely by what someone does for you. Acts of kindness, sacrifices, and generosity may express love, but they are not its ultimate standard. The Lord Jesus Himself established the highest measure of love when He said that greater love has no man than this: that he lays down his life for his friends. In other words, love reaches its fullest expression when a life is completely surrendered—even unto death. This is why Scripture declares that love is as strong as death. Only death can match the intensity of love. Only death can satisfy its demands. Love does not negotiate. Love does not bargain. Love gives itself fully. The true measure of love, therefore, is the willingness to die for the one you love. Jesus demonstrated this love perfectly. He did not merely speak about love. He lived it. He walked in it. And He sealed it with His blood. He was willing to stop living so that we could live. He surrendered His breath so that we might receive eternal life. He chose the cross so that we could choose life. That is the greatest love ever displayed. For married couples and those in relationships, this truth carries a deep lesson. True love is learning to die daily—to die to selfishness, pride, stubbornness, and personal comfort for the sake of your partner. It is choosing their wellbeing over your convenience. It is laying down your will so that love may live. Today, as you go out to celebrate Valentine’s Day, understand this: the true worth of someone’s love is not found in gifts, messages, or promises. It is found in your willingness to die—literally and symbolically—by setting aside your own interests to advance theirs. And if you put human love to this test, most of it will fail. No person can love perfectly. No human heart can sustain such depth without weakness. That is why many hearts are broken. That is why many promises collapse. But there is One whose love has never failed. Jesus loved you to the point of death—and He still loves you today. Turn to Him. He will not break your heart. He will heal it. He will restore it. He will mend what others have damaged. He will love you with an everlasting love. For His love is stronger than death.
