Don’t let Valentine’s Day be a distraction from the rock-solid love of God which doesn’t change

‘We need to get our ‘Valentine love’ from him, don’t we?’ suggests Sheila Jacobs who says she ‘never had ‘a word’ from God’ that she would marry.

I remember receiving anonymous Valentine cards when I was a teenager, rolling my eyes, but being secretly pleased. I don’t think I was particularly popular – perhaps I just knew some shy lads! Or maybe it was my mum. Who knows. Later on, my lovely boyfriend sent me cards, and flowers, and that was enough for me. Until God called me to be single.
