First Sunday of Lent

Valentine's Day and the First Sunday of Lent come together this year and have a message for us to ponder. Both Lent and this celebration of Valentine's Day are motivated by love. Without love, there would be no point in keeping the season of Lent nor this day when we depict love in so many ways: red roses, chocolate, cards, and hearts. Lent is concerned with the Heart of Jesus and what He went through to show us His Love.

“The Lord your God is in your midst. He will take great delight in you; He will quiet you by his love.” {Zephaniah 3:17}

What words of love is God whispering to you today?
