Scarlett Johansen matters to someone… do you?

Paris is loved?

What better way to show the world that you are crazy in love with someone than by the act of giving a diamond? It shows you love and the cherish the person right? Even Beyonce informs us that if you like then you should put a ring on it… and Ryan Reynolds did just that by showing Scarlett Johansson’s just how much she means to him by giving her an engagement ring with a cash value $300 000. And well Paris Hilton, received not one but two diamond engagement rings from billionaire boy Paris Latsis, one of which was a $5 million 24 carat canary diamond ring and the other a $2.1 million 15 carat white diamond ring. That’s crazy! Even more so as they never married – I wonder who gets to keep the ring?

Now these are some pretty big diamonds and crazy purchases for these men to show off to the world just how in love they are? And although you may sit there are think how extravagant and ridiculous…

You have to admit that there is something about being shown that you are loved by someone?

We love it when we feel loved?
We love it when we know we are loved?
We love it when people show us crazy acts of love!

Whether it is a diamond ring…
Or when your team mates raise you onto their shoulders after you scored a goal in a footy match
Or when someone shows a little bit of interest in you!

How much more so…when God shows that he is crazy in love with us.
No gift of a diamond ring can compare, no love from your twin brother, boyfriend, wife, friend or parent can compare. Nothing can compare to the love that God has shown you, me and our world, by sending Jesus. God shows us in the death and resurrection of his Son, that we matter to him, that we are valuable, worth something and lovable.

Don’t believe me? Jesus couldn’t have said it better himself: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

1John 3:16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us
1John 4:10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
