Valentine's Day is a Sweet Time to Share the Love of Christ with Scripture Valentine's Cards

Love it or hate it, that special day for lovers sneaks up on the calendar every mid-February. Personally, my husband and I don’t buy gifts for Valentine’s Day. Rarely do we go out to eat because we don’t enjoy the long wait on Cupid’s holiday. We buy a box of chocolate for each of our kids and call it a day.

But, you know what a day dedicated to celebrating love is perfect for? Sharing the love of Jesus. Really, every day is perfect for sharing Christ’s love!

Did you know research indicates that the majority of American children have not been introduced to Jesus, or are, along with their parents, shifting away from traditional Christian beliefs? Sadly, there is a sharp decline in Biblical reading and understanding amongst children and teens.

It reminds me of Romans 10:14, “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?”

We are the messengers, the answer to these rhetorical questions.

We are purposed as disciples to spread the good news, and what better way than including the treasure of scripture with a sweet treat? All you need is a printer, cardstock, and scissors to create these precious Scripture Valentine's cards. They are perfect for school classmates, Sunday School classes, friends, and neighbors.

“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 NIV

Children are naturally curious, and sometimes they just need a simple note that says Jesus loves them and wants a relationship with them to spark the next step in their faith journey.

Conversation Hearts Valentines: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
