Happy Valentine’s Day, God loves you!
Do you ever doubt God’s love? Maybe you know in your heart he loves you, but your head wonders why he seems so distant. And would a truly loving God let you go through something like this?
Whether you’re feeling unloved overall or are simply looking for Bible passages that confirm God’s love for you, these ten verses won’t let you down.

Never Unloved Or Unlovable
Regardless of your relationship status, you are never unloved.
As I write this, it’s almost Valentine’s Day, the holiday of love. The ubiquitous red glitter, long-stemmed roses, and diamond jewelry ads this time of year can make one whose social media status reads “single” feel a bit like a little kid with her nose pressed up against the window of a chocolate shop: stuck on the outside, looking in at all of the couples in their sweet bliss.
But you don’t have to feel that way. Regardless of your relationship status (single, dating, engaged, or married), you are never unloved. Because the greatest Lover of all time declared his love for you by sending his son to take your place. Your current—and forever—status is loved.
These verses confirm it
