Avoid the trap of jealousy and comparison. Stay away from anything that makes you lust after what people have and wallow in misery, wishing you had it.

If you are single, be happy and content with Jesus as you trust Him for a blessed partner for you.

Do not succumb to the pressure of feeling lonely and left out this Valentine.

Remember that you are so dearly loved by the greatest person – Jesus.

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭35‬, ‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭KJV‬‬
