I couldn’t resist making Valentine’s Day cards last night. It was so relaxing, just cutting and pasting and listening to beautiful music.

It is fun to make and give Valentine’s Day cards. And the good news is that we can give and receive love every day of the year. I cannot help but think of the words of this beautiful hymn:

O the deep deep love of Jesus,
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free!
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In its fullness over me!
Underneath me, all around me,
Is the current of Thy love–
Leading onward, leading homeward,
To Thy glorious rest above!

O the deep, deep love of Jesus–
Spread His praise from shore to shore!
How He loveth, ever loveth,
Changeth never, nevermore!
How He watches o’er His loved ones,
Died to call them all His own;
How for them He intercedeth,
Watcheth o’er them from the throne!

O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Love of every love the best!
‘Tis an ocean full of blessing,
‘Tis a haven giving rest!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus–
‘Tis a heaven of heavens to me;
And it lifts me up to glory,
For it lifts me up to Thee!
