A Valentine for All Seasons





Sacred Love

Greater love has no one than this
than to lay down one's life
for his friends.
John 15:13


Valentine's Day is a
Special day
to celebrate those you love
in your own sentimental way.

Whether this day finds you with
a valentine,
or if you're all alone,
there is Someone
who is always there.
His name is Jesus. 
And He gave us His
priceless gift of
Pure Love.

Open your Bible,
then read the book of John
to find this endless love
that passes all understanding.


When we look to others for love, solace, wisdom, and happiness, we can sometimes be disappointed.  Jesus never fails.  He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  It is man who changes, and who tries to change His simple message.  

Keep your eyes on the One who loves you more than life itself.  He proved it by dying on a cross.  No strings attached.  Just invite Him into your heart.  That is real freedom.

As I suggested, read the book of John.  And I guarantee, you won't stop there.  


Oceans of blessings to all my sweet family, friends, and fans ... and Valentines!

Did you notice your poem is in the shape of a vase with the "flower" of the book of John quote above it. I believe this is called "technopaegnia." Lovely!

He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. It is man who changes, and who tries to change His simple message. A simple message of love :) :)
