Everywhere you go… love stories. Every theater shows… romantic movies. Every radio station plays… love songs. Every T.V. show has a Valentines’ day special. What’s up?! Yes, it’s February, or THE LOVE MONTH, as some people would call it. This is the month when most people become extra sweet, some even go to different heights just to express how much they love the one God has given them. And yet for some, they say, it’s just another month, “what’s the big deal?” They are the ones who affectionately call themselves “the loveless”. What?! “LOVELESS?” as far as I know, nobody in this world should be called “loveless”… maybe there are some in Mars or Saturn, but not here, no way! There is always a God who will love you no matter what.
“There will always be a God who will love you…”, this became the driving force that led a group (Darren, Bugs, Rhea, Jeba, Poyee, Rolly, and I hope I didn’t forget anyone) into organizing a “Valentine concert”. Many titles for the event were brought forward, but one stood out among the others, “Our Theme Song”. The title was only fitting because the event’s main objective was to let everyone, with or without GG, feel that they are loved - that we all are loved. The team shared ideas; from the songs to the food, from the venue’s set up to the invitations. It was amazing. Everyone was so excited.
And so, on February 15 at the ICC Formation Center, the big night came. The place was just as wonderful. One of the guests even told me that she really felt the love when she entered the venue. But of course, there were some problems during the program, but with God’s amazing grace, the whole of the program ran smoothly. Smiles were in every person’s face that night, love songs made our hearts jump for joy, inspiring messages uplifted our already high spirits… Love was really in the air that night. After the concert, only happiness can be traced in the face of everyone who came.
Should the love month ends? Should the sweetness, the romance, and the tenderness end, too? The love month doesn’t happen only once a year, it happens the whole year, and it lasts for eternity. In my opinion, we should stop calling it “love month”, instead, we call it “Eternal Love”, plain and simple, because love makes the world go ‘round and ‘round… “What is LOVE?” to me Love is a mystery that starts with the letter “L” and ends with a…. nah! It never end.
