Ah, Valentine's Day. The most dreaded holiday for those without a significant other.
But it doesn't have to be so dreaded.
I'm sure you've heard it before and you probably mock the single Christian person who says "Oh, Jesus is my valentine."
...they have a valid reason for saying this!
There are so many passages that mention the undying love that Christ has for his church
John 3:16- "For God so loved the world..."
1 John 3:1- "See what kind of love the Father has given to us..."
and the greatest of all, Romans 8:8- "But God shows his love for us that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
It didn't matter how dirty and broken we were, Christ died for us because of that, and that is the greatest love anyone can receive. So even if you're down in the dumps today, just remember that no man or woman could ever replace or come close to giving you love like Jesus did, and he still does. He welcomes you with open arms if you're hurting, or if you still have fresh wounds from a nasty break-up...he's always there. And even if you are in a relationship, don't lose sight of this because your significant other will disappoint you at some time or another, that's a guarantee...but Jesus will never disappoint you, and he'll run to you in your time of need.
Hope this places some encouragement in your hearts today.
