My affection for February—and for all things hearts—goes all the way back to first grade. Mrs. Merando, my teacher, visited my Sunbeam troop and taught us how to cross-stitch a little heart. We turned those stitched hearts into Valentine’s Day cards, and something about that simple act made the month feel special to me ever since.
February is often known as the month of love, but this year we’re leaning into a deeper, more enduring kind of love—the love God forms in us through His Word. Scripture calls us not only to love God Himself, but to love His truth, His people, His commands, His ways, His mission, and His world. These six loves shape the rhythm of a life anchored in Christ.
Throughout this month, let’s explore passages that stir these loves within us. As you read, pause, and pray, may your devotion to God and His Word grow richer, steadier, and more joy-filled. Let this February be a time when love isn’t just acknowledged—it’s cultivated, rooted, and lived out daily.
