Introduction – Love That Never Fails
Valentine’s Day is often wrapped in roses, chocolates, and candlelit dinners. But for a believer, it’s more than just romance—it’s a moment to reflect on God’s love, the greatest and purest love of all.
Long before Hallmark cards, Scripture celebrated love in all its forms—romantic love, friendship, family bonds, and even the call to love our enemies. As 1 John 4:19 reminds us, “We love because He first loved us.”
I remember my first Valentine’s Day after becoming a Christian. Instead of focusing solely on romance, I wrote cards filled with Bible verses for my friends, family, and church community. The joy was unmatched—it wasn’t about getting love, but giving it.
In this guide, you’ll discover powerful prayers and Bible verses for Valentine’s Day, each designed to inspire, heal, and strengthen relationships. Whether you’re married, single, or in a season of healing, you’ll find Scripture-led encouragement to keep love at the heart of your faith.
