You Are Loved!
Does God send Valentines?
“…neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:39)
February is the month when we celebrate love. The ads for hearts and flowers and chocolates are everywhere. Valentine’s day is often a hard day for those who have been disappointed in love. If you are feeling like you have lost out in love in this season of your life it will be easy to want to cringe to the background.
But know this … YOU are loved and treasured by the God of the Heavens! The insecurity that wants to settle into your heart is not His plan for you!
Jesus wants to anchor your soul and hold you securely so that in seasons of great love or in seasons when love is distant, you will stand with the strength and dignity He bestows on you!
Nothing, nothing, can separate you from the love Jesus has for you. Your own mistakes, your past, your loneliness, the injustices done to you are a result of choices made by yourself or others. Jesus’ love over-rides all that! He promises to redeem, to buy back the emptiness and the messes and to restore your heart to a wholeness that you never knew possible.
“…neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:39)
Don’t give away your security and confidence today just because roses and chocolates don’t come to your door. The God of Heaven loves you and He has a plan for you. Stand tall in that love today. Let His strength and dignity crown you. Thank Him for it now.
Father God,
Thank you that even though I feel a little shaky today I do know that You love me. Thank you that nothing, even my own insecurities, can separate me from Your love. Grant me the strength and dignity to stand tall today and not to give my confidence away. My confidence is in You and I ask Your love to bathe my heart. I am loved by the God of Heaven. Thank you!! In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
Question: What are some ways you can find security and confidence in God today?

good article– thank you for posting it
thanks for the Bible verse reminder!
Valentine’s day is truly a day that most people who finds themselves not loved lose their confidence of ever being loved. The bible verse which says “…neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:39)”; Provides the confidence that all people on earth can have. I am blessed today.
Just something to share
Listen to never alone by BarlowGirl. This song is all about god being on your side. God loves everyone, not just certain people.
Thank you so much for this reminder, especially as Christians. I am also single, and recently ended a situation that wasn’t the best.. at times, I had to consciously remind myself that God knows what He is doing!!! Thank you for all the encouragements, and for the lovely entries! I am blessed by them, and might be saving some of the words you shared here! God bless.
Thought I’d share as this was cute and kind of blends in with today’s devotional…Enjoy!
Valentine’s Day With Jesus (poem)
Jesus does not send perfume
To linger in the air.
Instead, He sends salvation, sweet,
To show how much He cares.
He doesn’t bring me candy hearts
In boxes of delight.
Instead, He always lets me know
I’m precious in His sight.
He doesn’t send out pretty cards,
Trimmed in shades of red.
Instead, He gave His life for me.
His precious blood was shed.
He doesn’t hand out fancy gifts
Like we would send to mother.
Instead, He sends a message, clear,
To always love each other.
He doesn’t give me teddy bears
That whimper, “Please, be mine.”
Instead, He gave His heart to me.
I wear it all the time.
He doesn’t give me roses, pink,
For all the world to see.
Instead, He gave eternal life.
That’s good enough for me!

Happy Valentine’s Day to you Gail and thank you so much for this beautiful prayer! i have no “love” in my life today and haven’t for many years yet i find pleasure in giving the chocolates and hearts to others. God shows me His love in ways that really shock me at times wheter it be Valentine’s Day or not!Bless you!
Faith, which goes a long way, no matter I feel I’ve let the lord down by fallen faith. I am so grateful for this, it really does help me and allow me to share this with many more that needs this. God is great, and thank oyu again.
I can find confidence in God when I simply look in the mirror and reflect on his word. We are fearfully and wonderfully made into his image. As I think about it, I worship Him, as I worship him my soul acknowledges his presence. As my soul acknowledges him, I am confident of this one thing, HE LOVES ME…and I even know reflect, he gave his son that I might have fellowship with him for all eternity.
