(Jesus) redeemed us. Not with flowers. Not with jewelry. Not with dinner reservations at an exclusive restaurant. He redeemed us with His blood. We love because He first loved us.

You, Father, have come alongside me, placed Your hands over mine, and taken up the work of transforming me into Your image.

…If you’re looking for true love on February 14 or any other day of the year, look to Jesus. God cared enough about you to send His very best.
