Do you write? You might quickly answer with a “no,” thinking writing is something only authors and reporters do. But, you probably write more than you realize.

Valentine’s Day has arrived and all around our country expressions of love are being exchanged.

Children will trade Valentine’s Day cards, couples will go out to eat or send flowers, and some individuals will become engaged. As great as those moments are, others experience Valentine’s Day as a day of loneliness, pain, and depression. For those experiencing the expression of love in this season let me share with you a great love. For those experiencing the pain of the season, let me offer you a great love of hope.

Since we were young children, we have heard the story of Zacchaeus, the “wee little man,” who climbed up into the sycamore tree to see Jesus as He passed by. Zacchaeus was one of the interesting characters from the New Testament that had an encounter with Jesus during our Lord’s earthly ministry (Luke 19:1-10). When he climbed up into the tree to see Jesus, Zacchaeus was a wealthy and successful businessman, who held a powerful position in Roman-occupied Israel. For a man of his status his actions would be considered a bit “strange” today.
