It is Valentine’s Day! A day when the whole world gets mushy. A day all about love.

But, there are some people who may not be feeling the love today. They just want this day to be over. You may be one of these people.

I want to remind you today of a beautiful truth—that you are loved supremely by God! The God of the Universe, the One who created you, loves you with an everlasting love. He sent His only Son to die for you, because He would rather make that ultimate sacrifice than live through eternity without you. He cared enough to send The Very Best. His love for you is indescribable. Some amazing writers have tried to capture this love.

Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade

To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky

—The Love of God by Frederick M. Lehman

“It’s not about finding ways to avoid God’s judgment and feeling like a failure if you don’t do everything perfectly. It’s about fully experiencing God’s love and letting it perfect you. It’s not about being somebody you are not. It’s about becoming who you really are.” ― Stormie Omartian

“Though our feelings come and go, God’s love for us does not.” —CS Lewis

God’s love for us has always existed, and because of that, He did all the giving and sacrificing long before we were even aware that we needed His love.

Dear Lord: Your love reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. (Psalm 36:5) You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. (Psalm 86:15) In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:37-39) Amen

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

His Valentine to us today: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
