Jesus Loves You!

The first thing we think about when we say, “Valentines” is, little red hearts, cupids and bows and arrows – Valentine’s Day is focused around love and affection. Traditionally, it’s a day when lovers send flowers, cards etc. to let their loved ones know they are loved and appreciated. Let us go back to the reason for the season.

St. Valentine was martyred for his beliefs in Jesus Christ. Those beliefs surround the fact that God loves us so much He sent His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus loves us so much He gave His life for us:

“But God demonstrated His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Romans 5:8

When I see the little red heart of Valentines, I think of the love Jesus has for us; I think of the broken heart Jesus has for us:

“³⁷Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem…how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wing…”

Matthew 23:37

We have talked about heart throughout this newsletter and this is a gentle reminder for us to reevaluate our love for Jesus by giving our hearts to those much less fortunate than us as well as those who do not know Jesus. Jesus said,

“¹²Love each other as I have loved you. ¹³Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.”

John 15:12b,13

This year on the 14th let us remember the children in our children’s homes, widows, pastors, evangelists, workers and the professors in our Bible Colleges as they labor to take the love; the heart of Jesus to those who need to know Him.

Happy Valentine’s Day, may this be the best ever for you as you give a little of yourself to the ones we support in Southeast Asia.
