Anchor Scripture:
โKeep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.โ Book of Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)
Valentineโs Day speaks loudly about love, relationships, and emotions. But as believers, God is asking something deeper:
โHow is your heart?โ
Before entering a relationship, pursuing marriage, or making emotional commitments, you must first examine your heart before God.

โMan looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.โ 1 Samuel 16:7
As youths, itโs easy to focus on:
โPhysical attraction
โSocial media validation
โRelationship goals
โPeer pressure
But God checks:
โYour motives
โYour purity
โYour intentions
โYour spiritual condition
You can look good outside and still be broken inside.
Valentine is a season to examine, not just to celebrate.

โAbove all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.โ Book of Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)
Youth is the season of strong emotions. But feelings are not always facts.
Not every:
โAttraction is destiny
โAttention is affection
โProposal is purpose
โChemistry is compatibility
When you donโt guard your heart:
โYou fall easily
โYou get hurt deeply
โYou compromise quickly
A guarded heart is a guided life.

โLove is patient, love is kindโฆ it does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking.โ First Epistle to the Corinthians 13:4โ5
Real love:
โDoes not pressure you into sin
โDoes not rush you into immorality
โDoes not manipulate you emotionally
โDoes not pull you away from God
Also remember:
โFlee youthful lustsโฆโ
Second Epistle to Timothy 2:22
If a relationship weakens your prayer life, steals your peace, or reduces your spiritual fire, it is not from God.

โCreate in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.โ Book of Psalms 51:10
As youths, ask yourself:
โIs there lust hiding in my heart?
โAm I addicted to attention?
โAm I seeking validation from people instead of God?
โAm I carrying past emotional wounds?
โUnhealed hearts attract unhealthy relationships.

โFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Sonโฆโ Gospel of John 3:16
Before you say โI love youโ to someone, make sure you understand Godโs love for you.
โWhen you know:
โYou are chosen
โYou are valued
โYou are redeemed
You wonโt settle for less than Godโs best.

โDoes this relationship draw me closer to Christ?
โCan I boldly involve my spiritual mentors in this relationship?
โAm I emotionally disciplined?
If Jesus returns today, will I be proud of my choices?
โIs my heart prepared for purpose before pleasure?

Before you look for someone to love you
Make sure your heart is right before God.
Because when the heart is right,
Your love life, your destiny, and your future will be right.
