God’s Valentine to Us
Do you remember giving and receiving Valentine’s cards when you were in grade school? I remember making a mailbox in art class to receive cards from our friends. Construction paper, glue, paper doilies, and markers were used to build a large envelope that would clearly show my name and my creative abilities. At home I filled out cards with the names of my friends that said simple messages like “Be Mine Valentine,” “BFF — Best Friends Forever,” or simply “Happy Valentine’s Day.”
We have a message that has been given to us all — the message of love shared through the words of Scripture. This message is God’s Valentine to Us which is also the title of an LWML single-session Bible study focusing on the loving relationship between Naomi and Ruth.
When you gather this month as Lutheran Women in Mission, reflect on God’s abundant love for you and how you can reflect His love to others through your words and actions. Many suggestions for living out your faith this month can be found in Sharing God’s Love on Valentine’s Day.
