A Valentine may play a love song for you,
but God sings you the sweetest love song in the universe.

Therefore the redeemed of the Lord
shall return, and come with singing
unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall
be upon their head: they shall obtain
gladness and joy; and sorrow and
mourning shall flee away.
Isaiah 51:11
+ + + +
Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though
now for a season, if need be, ye are in
heaviness through manifold :
That the trial of your faith, being
much more precious than of gold that
perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might
be found unto praise and honour and glory
at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Whom having not seen, ye love; in
whom, though now ye see him not, yet
believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable
and full of glory:
Receiving the end of your faith, even
the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:6-9

Be careful for nothing; but in every
thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made
known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth
all understanding, shall keep your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus.
Phillipians 4:6, 7
