For some, Valentine’s Day is not always a happy one. The pressure to fit a year’s worth of romance and love into one day comes with its own set of expectations and disappointments.

If you’ve been jaded by relationships, you may feel broken-hearted, embittered or let down by love.

But at the risk of sounding cliche, there is someone who will always love you well.

Jesus loves you. Perfectly. Always. Forever. Regardless.

Maybe you’ve heard it so often that its meaning and impact has faded over time. Perhaps your own wounds, experiences or relationships have tainted your view of God and His love for you. If others have rejected, despised, blamed, ridiculed or abused you, you may fear Jesus will do the same.

But Jesus loves you differently. The way He treats you and interacts with you is not the same way others do. The character of God is the definition of true love. And because God is the author of love, He is the only one who can love us perfectly.

But what does that mean, really? 

For those who repent, believe and confess Jesus as Lord of their life, this is how He loves us. We know because the Bible tells us so. Here are 60 tangible and practical ways Jesus loves you on a daily basis.

Need more? Here are 67 reminders when you feel like God doesn’t care.

God is our True Love, the One we are really searching for. His love is perfect, faithful, and forever. God loved us by sacrificing His own life in order to save us from our own sin and self-destruction. He generously gave what was costly – Jesus – to us who didn’t deserve or earn it. And He continues to freely pour out His love for anyone who will accept it and put their trust and hope in Him (Rom 10:9-11, Eph 2:8).

Jesus will never reject, disappoint, or abandon you. He waits, arms open wide. May you look to Him, the Author of redeeming and unconditional love, to satisfy your soul.
