Your prayers and encouragement can be a free and beautiful Valentines Day gift for someone who feels unloved because of divorce, loss of a spouse, a break up of a relationship or the stress and loneliness of being single.  Use this poem as a personal prayer or a prayer of blessings for someone you know who needs to feel God’s love today.

Roses Poet Merissa Lee Kelley was inspired to write this Valentines poem because, “I know that sometimes this is a hard day for some folks. Whether you’re newly single from a divorce, or you’ve lost a spouse or you’re not in a relationship and long to be. It can be very lonely. I know that if I did not have a relationship with Jesus…I would be melancholy today….with the focus so much on romantic love. I have a friend who is newly divorced ….so she is dealing with rejection issues and low self esteem. I understand that road. I told her God would heal her heart….I am living proof. It may be a process….He may do it rapidly…He knows best and He loves you more than words can express.”

Valentines Day with Jesus

I have the sweetest Valentine…

Jesus is his name…

His love for me delights my heart….

Cause it always stays the same…

His tender grace restored my soul….

And brought me peace so dear…

I don’t face a lonely night…

Because he’s always near…

I know he won’t reject me…

I’m a treasure he designed…

My worth is found in him alone…

And I’m so glad he’s mine!
