On Valentine’s Day, we remember something deeper
than cards and roses and candlelit tables.
We remember the God who feeds love,
the God who sustains love,
the God who is love.
Jeroboam tried to hold his kingdom
by grasping, by fearing, by building idols.
And we know that temptation.
Whenever fear replaces trust,
our hearts start shaping little golden calves
of control, or comfort, or self‑protection.
But real love—
the kind that makes a marriage holy,
the kind that builds a family strong—
cannot live on substitutes.
It cannot live on fear.
It cannot live on the bread we bake for ourselves.
Real love lives on God.
Real love is fed by God.
Real love is sustained by the Word
that breaks like bread in the wilderness.
Jesus sees the hungry crowd,
and His heart moves.
He blesses, He breaks, He gives—
and there is more than enough.
And that becomes the quiet pattern of Christian marriage:
Blessed. Broken. Given.
And always—more than enough
when Christ is the center.
So on this Valentine’s Day,
we remember the truth beneath all romance:
False gods starve us.
The true God satisfies us.
And only His love can teach us how to love.
Prayer
Lord,
Feed our love with Your love,
A love that does not leave us hungry.
Teach our hearts to trust You.
Shape our families with Your grace.
Bless our love with Your mercy,
Make us bread for one another—
blessed, broken, and given—
so Your love becomes our own.
Amen
