Biblical Valentines Day Quotes
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and while most people are stocking up on chocolates and planning cute surprises, I’m over here wondering how to add a sprinkle of faith into all the hearts and flowers.
Because let’s be real: nothing says love quite like the ultimate love story, God’s love for us. So, if you’re looking for meaningful ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day, I’ve got some heartfelt, Biblical quotes that will warm your soul and make your heart smile.
Why Biblical Valentine’s Day Quotes?
Let’s be honest, Hallmark has nothing on the Bible. The Bible is full of wisdom, encouragement, and love, the kind that makes you feel wrapped in a heavenly hug. Whether you’re writing a card for your spouse, a friend, or even your kids (because yes, Moms are the OG Valentine’s), these quotes are perfect. They’re not just pretty words; they’re reminders of the purest love out there.
For Your Spouse or Partner
Marriage is such a gift, isn’t it? Some days it’s flowers and sunsets, and other days it’s laundry and arguing over whose turn it is to take out the trash. But through it all, love rooted in faith is unshakable. Here are some Bible verses to celebrate that kind of love:
- 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.”
– This one’s a classic, right? But classics are classics for a reason. This verse is a beautiful reminder of what real love looks like, even when you’re bickering over who forgot to put gas in the car. - Ephesians 5:25
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.”
– Gentlemen, take notes. Ladies, feel free to print this one out and casually leave it on the fridge. You know, just a subtle hint. - Song of Solomon 2:16
“My beloved is mine and I am his; he browses among the lilies.”
– Okay, how romantic is this? It’s basically ancient poetry. Write this in a card, and you’ll be winning Valentine’s Day for sure.
For Your Kids
As a Mom, I’ll admit that my kids are my littlest Valentines. And while they may roll their eyes at the heart-shaped pancakes I insist on making every year, I know deep down they love it (or at least the syrup). Here are some sweet verses to share with your kiddos:
- 1 John 4:19
“We love because he first loved us.”
– This is such a great way to remind our kids where love begins, with God. - Proverbs 3:3-4
“Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.”
– I love this one because it’s a beautiful life lesson. Love and faithfulness are always in style. - Psalm 127:3
“Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.”
– Whenever I’m staring at the mountain of laundry my kids generate, I try to remember this verse. They really are a reward, even if they’re messy ones.
For Your Friends
Valentine’s Day isn’t just for romantic love. It’s also the perfect time to celebrate the friends who’ve been there through thick and thin. You know, the ones who’ll binge-watch your favorite show with you or bring you ice cream when you’re having a bad day. These verses are perfect for them:
- Proverbs 17:17
“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.”
– True friends are the ones who love you even when you’re a hot mess. This verse is for those golden friendships. - John 15:13
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
– The ultimate friendship goal: selfless love. Your bestie deserves this kind of shoutout. - Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.”
– Because life is better with a friend who’ll always be there to lift you up, literally and metaphorically.
For Yourself
Hey, let’s not forget about some Valentines self-love. It’s easy to focus on everyone else during Valentine’s Day, but you’re worth celebrating too. Here are some verses to remind you just how loved and cherished you are:
- Jeremiah 31:3
“The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.’”
– Everlasting love. Unfailing kindness. That’s the kind of love we all need to hear about. - Zephaniah 3:17
“The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”
– Can you imagine God rejoicing over you with singing? Talk about a heavenly serenade! - Isaiah 43:4
“Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.”
– If you ever needed a reminder of how valuable you are, here it is.
Adding a Personal Touch
Here’s the thing: Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be about grand gestures. Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest impact. Slip one of these verses into a lunchbox, write it in a card, or even text it to someone you love. Adding your own note, like why you picked that verse or how it reminds you of them, makes it extra special.
And let’s not forget prayer. Take a moment on Valentine’s Day to thank God for the people you love and to ask Him to bless them. Because when it comes down to it, He’s the source of all love.
Valentine’s Day can be about more than roses and chocolates. It’s a chance to reflect on the greatest love of all, God’s love for us. So, whether you’re celebrating with your spouse, your kids, your friends, or just having some quiet time with God, these Biblical quotes are the perfect way to share the love.
And hey, if you still want to grab some chocolate, I say go for it. God’s love and chocolate? That’s a combo I can get behind. Happy Valentine’s Day, my friend!
