The Greatest Valentine of All Time

I remember school Valentine’s parties with great fondness. Each student in my class received a decorated paper bag, and we walked around the classroom dropping cards and candies into each other’s bags with great excitement. Most of the cards had funny cartoon characters, with silly messages like,  “You’re sweet!” or the famous, “Be mine, Valentine!”

Whether we knew it or not, most of us enjoyed the parties not only for the free candy, but for a chance to have someone say something nice to us (plus, this was also the only day it was okay to pass notes in class!) Whether we are children or adults, we all crave affirmation from others.

A friendly Valentine from a classmate has the ability to speak words of life to a child longing for love and attention. God also delivers heart-warming messages of His love and tender affection to us, wrapped in the greatest Valentine of all time–Jesus.

Throughout history God has written these Valentine’s messages on our heart.

Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.

Isaiah 43:1

We belong to Him, and He will never let us go. He has written these truths on the very tablets of our hearts. What messages are written on your heart? Are they messages of shame? Rejection or fear? Trauma or terror? God has wiped the slate of our old hearts and has given us a new heart with a new message of hope and love (Ezekiel 36:26).

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

Ezekiel 36:26

A Valentine’s Story from the New Testament

Our new hearts in Christ remind me of the story of the adulterous woman. The teachers of the law and Pharisees caught her in the sinful act of adultery and dragged her into a crowd and brought her before Jesus. 

“Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. What do you say?” They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. John 8:4-6

I love Jesus’ response. As if he didn’t even hear their self-righteous discourse, He began writing on the ground (John 8:6-8). The passage never tells us what Jesus was writing, but after they pressed Him with even more questions, he finally responded:

“If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” John 8:7

And He continued to write on the ground.

One by one, the Pharisees left, until only Jesus and the woman remained.

“Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

“No one, sir.” she said.

“Then neither do I condemn you,”  he declared.

This story touches my heart because no matter what we have been through or the sins we have committed, God’s love for us never fails. Christ did not come to earth to condemn us, but to save us. If you are in need of encouragement and strength today, remember that God’s love for you is written on your heart. His word if filled with hundreds of Valentine’s, declaring His amazing love for you!
