How can we feel closer to God on Valentine’s Day? Here are five Valentine’s Day devotionals to remind you of God’s love for you, on February 14 and beyond:

Love on Valentine’s Day

“Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” John 13:34

Last night I helped my grandsons get valentines ready for their preschool party. The cards, which featured a variety of bright characters, had to be pulled apart at perforated seams. Small heart stickers were included to hold the folded cards together.

We were pushing the bedtime limit, sitting at the kitchen table in a circle of overhead light. Drake, five, laboriously printed his name over and over. His brother, three, attached heart stickers, while his daddy wrote BROCK on all of his cards. My job was licking all 68 envelopes.

Brock finished his stack first, and as he was leaving to go up to bed, he came over to Drake and stuck a red heart sticker on his brother’s shirt. Drake stopped his printing and looked at the small bright spot of color on his sleeve. “Look, Nina,” he said, “Brock gave me this. He must love me.”

Sometimes we grown-ups make love way more complicated than it needs to be. A simple gesture, a kind touch, an unexpected card can all say, “I care about you.” And, of course, so can a bright red heart sticker.

Father, thank You for loving me unconditionally. Help me pass that love along today to someone who needs it.

A Devotion to Help Strengthen Your Marriage

Staring back at Ashley from the bathroom floor is a pile of dirty clothes. Specifically, size-large gym shorts, one sweaty workout shirt, an undershirt, well-worn briefs and haphazardly balled-up socks. As usual, the mass of neglected garments sits not inside but beside the hamper, clear evidence that her husband has been on the scene.

The Amazing Depth of Jesus’ Love

Sunrise at the beach is Katie’s favorite place to worship and fully experience Jesus; she is overwhelmed by His presence there. His majesty is displayed in the splendor of the sunrise as the rays paint the sky with beautiful shades of color. The roar of the waves proclaims His might. The smell of the salt in the air, the feel of the soft sand beneath her feet, and the cool mist all refresh her. Perhaps Jesus loved the beach also? This devotional about Jesus’ love can remind us of His love on Valentine’s Day and beyond. Read how the beach is the perfect place to remember Jesus’ love for us.
