God’s Valentines to Us

This week on the Morning Thing we have been taking some different looks at love in preparation for Valentine’s Day this Sunday. On today’s show we decided that in order to get the best grasp on what love should look like we need to go back to where it begins. To do that we turned to Scripture and looked at how God has shown his immeasurable love for us. Take a look HERE to see the complete list of “God’s Best Valentines.”

As you go about your day remember that you are loved!
