It’s time once again for the annual ritual of hearts and candy. Valentine’s Day has such a rich tradition, but have you ever wondered that if God was going to send a Valentine what would it look like,
Well, consider the words of St. Paul in Romans 8
“What then are we to say about these things? If God is forus, who can be against us? He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give us everything else?
Or consider John 3:16 – For God so loved the world that he gave his only Begottn Son, so that whosoever believes in him shall have everlasting life.
Or the words we hear following our Prayer of Confession – This is the Good news that Christ died while we were yet sinners that proves God’s love for us. (Romans 5:8)
Or 1 John 3:1 – See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God.
As we celebrate this day of red and pink and white, I hope that we will take a minute to remember what “True Love” really looks like. God’s love is available to all, through the power of the Son and the Spirit. It’s a Valentine gift, you don’t want to miss!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
