Embracing God’s Unwavering Love this Valentine’s Day
As Valentine’s Day approaches, bringing with it the sweet scent of roses and the delightful rustle of candy wrappers, let’s pause and remember the greatest love of all—the eternal, unwavering love of God. His love is the ultimate love story—one that never fades.
The Bible paints a vivid picture of this divine love in 1 John 4:19: “We love because he first loved us.” It’s the kind of love that doesn’t require a special occasion or a Hallmark card. It’s a love that existed before the stars were hung in the sky and will remain long after the last candle is blown out.
In Romans 8:38-39, we’re reminded of the unshakeable nature of God’s love: “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers… will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” So, even if your Valentine is residing in the heavenly realms, rest assured that God’s love bridges every gap.
And for those of us playing solo this Valentine’s Day, let’s remember the words of Jeremiah 31:3: “I have loved you with an everlasting love.” That’s right, folks—everlasting. No expiration date, no conditions. Just pure, unfiltered love, like your grandma’s secret recipe for happiness.
So, let’s celebrate this day by sharing a laugh with a friend, spreading kindness like confetti, and basking in the warmth of God’s love. After all, His love is the ultimate masterpiece, painted with strokes of grace and compassion. Whether you’re surrounded by loved ones or cherishing the memories of those who’ve gone before, know that you are deeply loved and wonderfully made.
Now, go forth and sprinkle love like it’s the last bit of glitter from an art project—because in God’s eyes, every day is Valentine’s Day. And who knows? Perhaps the most delightful love story is just around the corner, waiting to unfold in His perfect timing.
