Even in the best of earthly relationships or the closest
marriage, we don’t always feel loved. For many people Valentine’s Day is a
difficult reminder of what we don’t have, whether we are single or married. Because
we live in a broken world, our expectations are often unrealized and our dreams
of love are far from reality.
We long for a perfect lover, one who knows us
intimately and loves us unconditionally. No one on earth will ever meet those expectations
but God.
As we celebrate Valentine’s Day, it’s a great time to ponder
words of love from God to his people.
