Dennis Rainey: This Valentine's Day, let me tell you about a love relationship that began a long, long time ago.

Guest: Well, when I first met my wife, she wasn't too interested in a relationship. She just wanted to be friends, but I didn't want to be just friends, I wanted to marry her someday. So I pursued her over a summer, I sent her letters. Eventually, either she wore out from me chasing her, or she decided that maybe I was worth getting to know a little better.[ Read Full Transcript ]

Dennis Rainey: Let me tell you another story. If you're a Christian, your love story began long before you were even born!

In fact, according to Romans 5, we were helplessly without strength, enemies with God. The Bible calls us sinners. We couldn't love if we tried! But 1 John 4:19 says, "We love, because He first loved us". God initiated a relationship, and He pursued us.

One final thought. If you long for this eternal love relationship with Jesus Christ, could it be that He is pursuing you with His love? Won't you respond by turning from your sin and turning to Christ? Call us at 1-800-FL-TODAY, and ask for the free book, "Right With God", to help you understand more about this incredible love story.

I'm Dennis Rainey, and that's Real FamilyLife.
